TRADITIONS IN THE TOILET! New Poll Shows Drastic Decline in Support for American Values

Patriotism, religious faith, family —not that important to Americans anymore.

According to a new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll, traditional values once held in high esteem in America are in rapid decline since 1998. The only tradition that has grown in importance: “money.”

From Breitbart News:

The data also shows young people and Democrats tend not to highly rank traditional American values as much as older adults and Republicans.

Bill McInturff, a pollster who worked on a similar Journal survey that measured these values, told the publication that “these differences are so dramatic, it paints a new and surprising portrait of a changing America” and speculated that “perhaps the toll of our political division, Covid and the lowest economic confidence in decades is having a startling effect on our core values.’’

The publication noted that “a number of events have shaken and in some ways fractured the nation since the Journal first asked about unifying values,” including the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 financial crisis, and Donald Trump’s presidency.

Beginning with patriotism, only 38 percent of Americans say it is “very important” to them, down from 61 percent in 2019 and 70 percent in 1998. Thirty-five percent say patriotism is “somewhat important,” and 27 percent say it is “not that important (16 percent) and “not at all important” (11 percent).

…

While 49 percent of respondents say, “I know God really exists and I have no doubts about it,” only 39 percent say religion is “very important” to them. Like patriotism, religion has seen a precipitous decline in ranking of importance: 62 percent of Americans said religion was “very important” in 1998, a sentiment which tumbled down to 48 percent in 2019 before hitting this year’s low percentage.
