Poll: Young Americans are less likely say America is a "special" country

Data from YouGov Omnibus shows, however, that these bonds may be weakening. Though a majority of young Americans (51%) say that they think America is a special country, this is much lower than the country as a whole (70%) or 55 and over (83%).

A similar divide can be seen between political parties. When asked whether being American is better or worse than being from other countries, 57% of Americans say that it is better, while 26% say that it is neither better nor worse. Among Democrats, however, 37% say that it is about as good to be American as from somewhere else, compared to only 12% of Republicans.
