Poll: Only 8 Percent of Democrats Consider America the 'Greatest' Country on Earth

A recent survey conducted by the Economist/YouGov reveals significant differences in how Americans perceive their country's standing globally, particularly along partisan lines. Only 8% of Democrats consider the United States the 'greatest' country on earth, while 52% of Republicans hold this view. The survey indicates that a majority across all groups believe the U.S. is at least better than average, but opinions diverge sharply between political parties. Among Democrats, 23% describe the U.S. as 'worse than average,' and 15% say it is 'among the worst.' In contrast, 53% of conservatives rate the U.S. as the 'greatest' country. The findings coincide with the lead-up to America's 250th anniversary celebrations and the start of the Great American State Fair.

Dems are trying everything in battlegrounds. Republicans are sticking with Trump.

In the lead-up to the 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party is heavily aligned with former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, despite some setbacks in primary contests. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is struggling with internal divisions over strategy and candidate selection. Republicans are fielding candidates who strongly align with Trump's ideology, while Democrats are choosing between establishment figures and progressive challengers. This dynamic raises questions about the viability of MAGA in competitive districts and the potential for a shift within the Republican Party. The outcomes of these races could influence the trajectory of both major parties heading into the 2028 presidential election.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced view of both parties' strategies and challenges without overtly favoring one side. It highlights the dominance of MAGA within the Republican Party and the internal conflicts within the Democratic Party without using biased language or selective sourcing.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 70): Factually covers primary race dynamics and candidate trends, but lacks specific data on coordinated party expenditures. Objectivity is compromised by partisan framing of MAGA influence and Democratic factionalism.

Donny Deutsch: 'Democrats Have Gone off the Rails'

On Thursday's episode of MS NOW's 'Money, Power, Politics,' panelist Donny Deutsch criticized Democrats for promoting 'anti-American socialism' and failing to address economic concerns. Host Stephanie Ruhle asked whether voter dissatisfaction with Trump could shift support toward Democrats if the economy does not improve before November. Deutsch argued that Democrats are out of touch with mainstream values, focusing instead on issues like anti-Semitism and socialism. He cited recent Democratic candidates who allegedly supported pro-Hamas rhetoric and called for abolishing institutions such as ICE and prisons. Deutsch warned that these positions could harm the Democratic Party by giving Republicans ammunition to attack them.

Trump Rift With Senate GOP Hands Dems a Chance
