In U.S., Three-Quarters Identify Shared Values

Maese reports a probability-based national survey of more than 3,000 adults finding that 76% can name at least one value they believe most Americans share. Freedom, patriotism, and service lead, while majorities across parties say respecting different values matters more than sharing identical ones.

The hopeful consensus has a sharp limit: no individual value is selected by a majority, and only 13% identify honesty or integrity as widely shared. When asked what the country needs, honesty, responsibility, and integrity rise to the top.
