Fox News Poll: 6 in 10 are proud of US today – the most in more than a decade

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The largest number of voters since 2011 say they are proud of the country, according to a new Fox News national survey.
Fifty-eight percent say they are proud of the country. That’s up 13 percentage points since June 2024 and the highest since 2011 when a record 69% were proud. By contrast, 41% are not proud. The survey was completed before recent events in the Middle East, including U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and President Donald Trump brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

The increase comes from an overwhelming majority of Republicans (85%) now being proud compared to last summer (36%). That makes Republicans 30 points prouder of the country today than Democrats were a year ago (55% of Democrats in 2024). In 2011, majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents were proud.
The new survey shows 36% of Democrats are proud (61% not proud) while Independents held relatively steady with roughly 4 in 10 expressing pride.
FOX NEWS POLL: ECONOMIC PESSIMISM ABATES SLIGHTLY AS VOTERS REFLECT ON THE ECONOMY
«Although pride in the U.S.A. seems like it should be above partisan wrangling, that’s only partially borne out by the data,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. «The reality is the out-party has become saltier in recent years when asked about the ‘land of the free.’ Democrats today (and Republicans last year) aren’t willing to express pride so long as the other side controls the White House.»
Majorities across most groups are proud, especially MAGA supporters (92%), Republican men (88%), and White evangelical Christians (80%). A lack of pride is highest among women with a college degree (51% not proud), voters under age 30 (57%), and Democrats (61%).
A 68% majority of voters also agrees the U.S. is the best country in the world to live in (30% disagree). While that’s roughly where sentiment has been for the last four years, it doesn’t match the 8 in 10 who felt the same in 2015 (83%) and 2011 (84%) when the question was first asked.
In 2011, 89% of Republicans, 84% of Democrats, and 73% of Independents thought living in America was the best. For Republicans, that number held steady at 90% today, but has decreased by 34 points among Democrats (50%), and by 13 points among Independents (60%).
Overall, one-third trust the federal government compared to nearly two-thirds who distrust it. The only time more voters trusted than distrusted the government was in 2002 (54% vs. 36%), and that was also the first time the question was asked on a Fox News survey.
Most Democrats (73%) and Independents (80%) distrust the government, while Republicans are split (47% trust, 48% don’t trust).
Even as more are proud of the country, more than 8 in 10 (85% extremely or very) are concerned about the future of the country, the highest in a list of eight concerns, albeit by one point. Almost as many say inflation is a huge concern (84%), followed by government spending (80%), Iran getting a nuclear bomb (78%), antisemitism (69%), illegal immigration (67%), domestic use of U.S. military troops (66%), and protests in U.S. cities (63%).
The future of the country is the top issue for Democrats and Independents (90% each concerned). For Republicans, it comes in fourth at 79% behind illegal immigration, Iran getting a nuclear bomb, and government spending.

Conducted June 13-16, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,003 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (149) and cellphones (566) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (288). 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 of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.

La Unión Europea advirtió que la guerra en Medio Oriente podría impulsar su tasa de inflación por encima del 3%

La Unión Europea advirtió que su tasa de inflación podría superar el 3% este año si la guerra en Medio Oriente mantiene el precio del petróleo Brent cerca de 100 dólares por barril y los precios del gas permanecen elevados durante un período prolongado. El escenario también implicaría un menor crecimiento económico en 2026, según explicó el comisario europeo de Economía, Valdis Dombrovskis, durante una reunión con los ministros de Finanzas del bloque.
De acuerdo con personas familiarizadas con las conversaciones consultadas por Bloomberg, bajo ese escenario el crecimiento económico de la Unión Europea en 2026 sería hasta 0,4 puntos porcentuales inferior al ritmo de 1,4% que el bloque había previsto a finales del año pasado.
El escenario que analizó la Comisión Europea también contempla que los precios del gas en Europa se sitúen en torno a 75 euros por megavatio hora durante el resto del año. Con esas condiciones, la inflación sería entre 0,7 y 1 punto porcentual superior al 2,1% que se había proyectado previamente para 2026.
Un aumento significativo de la inflación podría llevar al Banco Central Europeo (BCE) a elevar las tasas de interés. Los operadores del mercado incrementaron sus apuestas sobre una posible subida de tasas durante este año. La próxima decisión de política monetaria del BCE está prevista para el 19 de marzo, aunque no se espera un aumento de tasas en esa reunión.
Según las personas informadas sobre las conversaciones, Dombrovskis también advirtió que el conflicto podría provocar efectos negativos adicionales en la economía europea debido a su impacto sobre los mercados financieros, el comercio y las cadenas de suministro.
Durante la reunión con los ministros de Finanzas, el comisario europeo explicó que los indicadores económicos recientes mostraban señales de mejora antes de la escalada del conflicto.
De acuerdo con las personas familiarizadas con el encuentro consultadas por Bloomberg, Dombrovskis indicó que las perspectivas económicas del bloque resultaban ligeramente mejores en comparación con el otoño, con un crecimiento esperado de alrededor de 1,5% este año y 1,6% el próximo. Sin embargo, ese panorama se vio afectado por la expansión del conflicto regional vinculado a la guerra en Irán.
Misiles y drones impactaron instalaciones energéticas en países como Arabia Saudita y Qatar, lo que afectó la producción de petróleo y gas natural licuado (GNL). Además, el tránsito de petroleros y otras mercancías a través del estrecho de Ormuz, una de las rutas energéticas más importantes del mundo, se redujo casi por completo.
En declaraciones a periodistas el lunes, Dombrovskis afirmó que “el impacto en la economía europea dependerá de la duración, alcance e intensidad del conflicto”. El comisario europeo también advirtió sobre los riesgos que implican los ataques contra infraestructuras energéticas y rutas comerciales.
“Una persistente ofensiva contra el transporte marítimo y la infraestructura energética expone a la economía mundial a un shock estanflacionario a más largo plazo”, dijo.
Los precios de la energía registraron fuertes movimientos desde el inicio de la guerra. El gas europeo subió con fuerza y el miércoles cotizó cerca de 50 euros por megavatio hora, después de haber alcanzado 70 euros a comienzos de la semana. El petróleo Brent se situó por encima de 90 dólares por barril.
En respuesta a las tensiones en el mercado energético, la Agencia Internacional de Energía acordó el miércoles liberar 400 millones de barriles de reservas estratégicas de petróleo, en lo que constituye la mayor liberación de este tipo realizada por el organismo.
Las autoridades del Banco Central Europeo siguen de cerca el impacto del conflicto sobre la inflación. La responsable de política monetaria del BCE Isabel Schnabel afirmó el miércoles que, aunque se espera que la inflación de la zona euro se sitúe en el objetivo del 2% en el mediano plazo, la nueva proyección que el banco central publicará en marzo reflejará parte del impacto de la guerra.
Schnabel señaló que la proyección “al menos reflejará parcialmente” el efecto del conflicto.

Trump administration puts key Biden-era immigration policy on notice: ‘Unsustainable cycle’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Trump administration on Wednesday urged the Supreme Court to allow it to terminate the protected legal status of hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants living in the U.S.
It’s the latest effort by the administration to unwind Biden-era protections of hundreds of thousands of migrants living in the U.S. as part of the president’s hard-line immigration enforcement agenda.
U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer urged the high court Wednesday to immediately intervene and overturn a lower court order that blocked the administration’s effort to immediately revoke the temporary protected status designation for some 350,000 Haitian migrants living in the U.S.
A majority of judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit also blocked the Trump administration’s bid to end the program, citing the «substantial» and «well-documented harms» the migrants would likely face as a result, clearing the way for the administration to appeal the case to the high court.

In his filing Wednesday, Sauer urged the Supreme Court to review more broadly the issue of whether the Trump administration can revoke TPS protections for other migrants living in the U.S.
«Unless the court resolves the merits of these challenges — issues that have now been ventilated in courts nationwide — this unsustainable cycle will repeat again and again, spawning more competing rulings and competing views of what to make of this court’s interim orders,» Sauer said Wednesday. «This court should break that cycle.»
The TPS program in question allows individuals from certain countries to live and work in the U.S. legally if they cannot work safely in their home country due to a disaster, armed conflict or other «extraordinary and temporary conditions.»
Haitians were first granted TPS status in 2010 after the devastating earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people and left some 1.5 million in the country homeless.
The protections were extended several times, including under the Biden administration in 2021 after the July assassination of Jovenel Moïse, Haiti’s last democratically elected president.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced in November that the U.S. would be ending TPS protections for Haitians in the U.S., prompting a group of individuals living in the U.S. with protected status to file suit.
The Trump administration’s Supreme Court filing marks the second time this year the administration has asked the high court to immediately intervene and allow it to strip TPS protections for certain migrants.
Lawyers for the Justice Department also asked the Supreme Court last month to allow it to revoke TPS designations for Syrian migrants in the U.S., though the high court has yet to rule on that request.
The appeal comes just weeks after U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes blocked the Department of Homeland Security from immediately revoking the TPS designations for Haitians in the U.S.

Reyes described the administration’s effort to abruptly wind down the designation as «arbitrary and capricious» and accused DHS Secretary Kristi Noem of failing to consider the «overwhelming evidence of present danger» in Haiti, which she noted had prompted the Biden administration to extend TPS protections for Haitians in the first place.
«The government cannot name a single concrete harm from maintaining the status quo,» Reyes said. «And so instead it argues that the court’s decision is ‘an improper intrusion by a federal court into the workings of a coordinate branch of the government.’»
The appeal comes as the Trump administration has sought to wind down most TPS designations, arguing the programs have been extended for too long under Democratic presidents.

Trump officials have also taken aim at lower courts that have sought to block or pause their efforts to wind down TPS protections, accusing the lower court judges of exceeding their authority and unlawfully intruding on the executive branch’s authority on immigration policy.
