“I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.”

Most Americans believe the country has moved away from its founding principles as the nation prepares for its big 250th anniversary, a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll finds.

Eighty-three percent of U.S. adults feel America has strayed from the ideals the country was founded on two-and-a-half centuries ago.

Among them, close to half of Americans — 47% — say the U.S. has "moved far away" from these principles, joined by 36% who said America has "moved somewhat away" from them. Another 16% said the country "pretty much still represents" those principles.

Over the last 50 years, Americans' views of whether the country is living up to its nascent promise has flagged. In 1976, ahead of the nation's bicentennial, the Roper Organization polled Americans about the nation's founding principles in the wake of the Vietnam War and President Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal.

At the time, 30% of adults believed America had moved far away from its founding principles. Today, according to Marist's poll, that's jumped to 47%.

To Beverly Gage, Yale University historian, the shift around ideals may depend, in part, on how people are thinking differently about those founding principles today. There are certain principles, like the embodiment of slavery, that would be good to have moved away from, she said.

But Gage thinks there's a deeper concern among Americans about some of the nation's highest ideals — namely, the declaration that all men are created equal, the belief in the pursuit of happiness and the belief in some form of democracy.

"There are lots of people that are really questioning, in this moment, whether those things are true anymore," she said.

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has one of the few labs in the world which can study Ebola virus.

In March 2025 RFK Jr had it shut down.

We now have a huge Ebola outbreak on our hands.

What a foolish move
