Key Takeaways
As the United States approaches its celebration of its 250th year, Americans overwhelmingly affirm the enduring relevance of the nation’s founding principles. According to data collected from America’s New Majority Project from 2024 to 2026, nearly 82% of registered voters believe the ideals enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, equality, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness remain relevant today. An even larger share, 83%, believe all citizens should take pride in the Founding Fathers’ creation of the world’s longest-surviving democracy.
But Americans aren’t just looking backward. More than three-quarters of the country (76%) express optimism about the role of science and technology in building a better future a sentiment that reflects the same pioneering spirit that shaped the republic 250 years ago.
