Fox News Poll: ‘Resilient discontent’ defines the US mood at 250th anniversary
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, American voters remain attached to the country, even as a majority describe it in negative terms and many believe Americans are more divided by their values than united by them.
That’s according to the latest Fox News national survey released Monday.
When asked what one word best describes the United States today, two-thirds of voters choose a negative word such as «failing,» «divided,» «struggling,» or «corrupt.» That includes nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans.
Only about one-quarter of voters suggest a positive word, such as «freedom,» «great,» «powerful,» or «strong,» and more than four times as many Republicans as Democrats use those terms.
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS SEE AI REGULATION AS URGENT, RANK SAFEGUARDS AHEAD OF INNOVATION
By a 16-point margin, a larger number of voters believe Americans are mostly separated by different values (58%) than bound by shared values (42%). Majorities of Democrats (62%) and independents (65%) think Americans are separated by different values, while views among Republicans are split (49% shared vs. 50% different values).
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS SEE WELFARE FRAUD AS COMMON, STILL MOSTLY FAVOR PROTECTING BENEFITS OVER CRACKDOWNS
Even so, the survey finds broad agreement on some fundamental American principles. When describing the U.S., more than 8 in 10 voters say it’s important to emphasize national unity and shared values (85%) as well as U.S. democratic principles (83%). Three-quarters (77%) prioritize highlighting the country’s multiculturalism and diversity. Of the three, there’s relatively wide partisan disagreement on multiculturalism, with 88% of Democrats viewing it as an important descriptor of the country compared to 67% of Republicans — a 21-point gap.
And while national attachment remains strong, it has noticeably eroded compared to two decades ago when 93% said they would rather live in the U.S. than any other country. Today, that number is 81%, while 19% say they would rather live elsewhere — a share that has more than tripled since 2004 and 2005.
The desire to leave is especially pronounced among voters under age 30 and Democrats, as about 3 in 10 of each group would rather live outside the U.S. By contrast, almost all Republicans (96%) and most voters ages 45 and over would stay in the U.S. (86%).
Enthusiasm about the country’s upcoming 250th anniversary clearly reflects the partisan gap: more than twice as many Republicans (74%) as Democrats (35%) are excited about the milestone. Fully 84% of MAGA Republicans are excited compared to 57% of non-MAGA Republicans. More than half of veterans (55%), White men without a college degree (63%), and White evangelical Christians (70%) are also excited.

«These findings suggest a national mood best described as ‘resilient discontent,’» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts Fox News surveys with Democratic counterpart Chris Anderson. «The growing share who would rather live elsewhere combined with stark partisan differences in enthusiasm for the country’s anniversary, suggests commitment to the nation is becoming less automatic and more conditional.»
Conducted May 15-18, 2026, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,002 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (109) and cellphones (635) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (258). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data.

Irán amenazó con abandonar las negociaciones para poner fin a la guerra si Israel continúa los ataques contra Hezbollah en Líbano
El presidente del Parlamento iraní, Mohamad Baqer Qalibaf, advirtió este lunes que Irán suspenderá las negociaciones para poner fin al conflicto iniciado tras la ofensiva israelí y estadounidense contra la República Islámica si Israel mantiene sus ataques contra Líbano. La declaración coincidió con los esfuerzos del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, para sostener la tregua en territorio libanés y avanzar hacia un eventual acuerdo con Teherán.
“Si la agresión israelí contra Líbano continúa, no solo suspenderemos el proceso de negociación sino que nos enfrentaremos directamente al enemigo”, afirmó Qalibaf en un mensaje difundido en redes sociales tras una conversación con el presidente del Parlamento libanés, Nabih Berri.
El dirigente del régimen iraní también reivindicó la relación entre ambos países y defendió la “hermandad” entre los pueblos de Irán y Líbano. Sus declaraciones surgieron pocas horas después de que Trump anunciara que Israel desistió de una operación militar sobre Beirut tras una conversación telefónica con el primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu.
“He mantenido una llamada muy productiva con el primer ministro ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu de Israel y no habrá tropas que vayan a Beirut y las tropas que estaban de camino están ya de regreso”, sostuvo el mandatario estadounidense en una publicación en redes sociales.
Trump agregó que mantuvo contactos con miembros de Hezbollah para evitar una nueva escalada en el frente libanés. Según su versión, el movimiento chií aceptó detener los ataques con proyectiles contra Israel.
“Israel no les atacará y ellos no atacarán a Israel”, señaló el presidente estadounidense. Luego añadió: “Veremos cuánto dura esto; ¡ojalá sea para siempre!”.
Las advertencias de Teherán contrastaron con el tono optimista expresado por Trump respecto de las conversaciones con la República Islámica. En declaraciones a la cadena ABC News, el mandatario afirmó que existe la posibilidad de alcanzar un acuerdo para poner fin a la guerra y reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz durante la próxima semana.
Las negociaciones, aseguró, “tienen buen aspecto” y un eventual entendimiento podría concretarse “en el transcurso de la próxima semana”.
Sin embargo, medios iraníes informaron que Teherán decidió paralizar el diálogo con Washington como respuesta a la intensificación de los ataques israelíes en Líbano. La agencia Tasnim indicó que la suspensión se produjo en medio de la creciente tensión regional y de los cuestionamientos iraníes a las operaciones militares israelíes.
Consultado sobre esa posibilidad, Trump minimizó el impacto de una eventual interrupción de las conversaciones. En declaraciones a NBC News sostuvo que “no pasa nada” si Irán decide abandonar la mesa de negociación.
El mandatario estadounidense consideró que esa decisión sería “algo lógico” y argumentó que los iraníes “son mejores negociadores que combatientes”.
Más tarde, Trump reconoció que las conversaciones atravesaron dificultades recientes. “Hubo un pequeño problema”, indicó, aunque aseguró que logró resolverlo “muy rápidamente”.
El presidente estadounidense también admitió la complejidad del proceso diplomático. “No es una cosa simple. Estamos hablando de un país grande, con una tremenda hostilidad realmente”, manifestó durante la entrevista con ABC News.
A pesar de esas dificultades, insistió en que las conversaciones avanzan “a un ritmo rápido” y sostuvo que un acuerdo podría representar un resultado superior a una victoria militar. Trump explicó además que el memorando de entendimiento destinado a reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz todavía no fue firmado porque quedan pendientes “algunos puntos más” por resolver.

Soros-backed nonprofit accuses NJ Gov Sherrill of spreading ‘MAGA propaganda’ on ICE detainees
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Soros-backed nonprofit organized a demonstration outside of New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill’s office on Monday afternoon, saying the Democratic governor is spreading «MAGA propaganda» and not doing enough for the migrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Delaney Hall in Newark, N.J.
The protest reflected the backlash that Sherrill is facing by far-left members of her own party. On its donation page, Cooper River Indivisible directs donors to the politically powerful Indivisible Project, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group that has been very active in backing Democratic politicians.
They work closely with Indivisible Civics, their 501(c)(3) sister organization.
Indivisible receives money from the Open Society Action Fund, a 501(c)(4), which is backed by notorious Democratic donor George Soros.

MEET THE FAR-LEFT GROUPS FUNDING ANTI-DOGE PROTESTS AT GOP OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
«WE ARE HEADING TO MIKIE SHERRILL’S OFFICE — to demand that she answer for the mess that she has made,» the event’s sign-up page reads on the Mobilize.us platform.
«Governor Sherrill’s response has caused serious harm inside and outside of Delaney Hall. Peaceful protestors and journalists have been arrested, injured, and had their constitutional rights violated, all while GeoGroup Guards and ICE continue to retaliate against strikers,» the announcement continued.
The group is calling on Sherrill to meet with illegal migrants who are detained at the Delaney Hall ICE facility and release young, old or sick detainees. «GeoGroup Guards» is a reference to the security personnel hired by the government contractor, Geo Group Inc., that is running the facility as part of its national contract with ICE.

Cooper River indivisible also accused Sherrill of «inciting violence by siccing the police on peaceful protestors» and said she is spreading «MAGA» propaganda after more than a week of protesting at the ICE facility.
In 2023, Open Society Foundations, through the Open Society Action Fund, issued a two-year grant of $3 million to the Indivisible organization. The grant was «to support the grantee’s social welfare activities,» according to the Open Society Foundations’ website.
Indivisible has also played a lead role in the organization of the «No Kings» protests.

According to the Open Society Foundations’ website, Soros «has given away more than $32 billion of his personal fortune» to the foundations. His son Alex Soros serves as chairman of the board.
«We support a wide range of independent organizations that work to deepen civic engagement through peaceful democratic participation, a hallmark of any vibrant society and a right protected by the Constitution,» a spokesperson from Open Society Foundations told Fox News Digital. «Our grantees make their own decisions about their work, consistent with the law and the terms of their grant agreements.»
Protests at Delaney Hall have exploded over the past week. Contrary to the allegations by the demonstrations, local law enforcement hasn’t been involved in arresting agitators or squashing often violent riots but New Jersey State Police did arrest rioters on Friday night.

NEW JERSEY AGITATORS BITE, KICK AND PUNCH ICE AGENTS AS DELANEY HALL CLASHES CONTINUE; 9 MORE ARRESTED: DHS
On Saturday morning, Sherrill said that state police were present at the riot to protect the agitators from ICE agents, but the violent battle that took place the night before was mainly between local law enforcement and the rioters, according to first-hand witness by Fox News Digital.
State troopers, including some on horseback, deployed heavy riot control tactics on Friday night, including noise bombs, tear gas grenades, pepper spray and riot shields in an attempt to disperse the mob. The police had established barriers for the zone earlier in the afternoon, which rioters commandeered to fight back against police.
«My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe – and an increased ICE surge in the area outside of Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety,» Sherrill posted to X Saturday morning. «We know that lives would be at risk were that to happen. And I will not accept that risk.»

By Saturday afternoon, the New Jersey governor held a press conference, issuing a list of demands to the Department of Homeland Security, including visitation for families and medical care for the sick and vulnerable.

A source at DHS told Fox News Digital that the department wouldn’t accept her demands, and that visitation was only suspended due to the violent riots. The source also said that ICE operations will continue as normal now that Delaney Hall is secure, allowing visitations to resume.
Fox News Digital reached out to Indivisible and Sherrill but did not receive responses.
