Robinson concludes,

"To me, the NORC poll shows Americans advancing in the right direction, toward inclusion rather than exclusion. It says most Americans don’t believe they’re living in a dystopia of 'wokeism.' They’re just living in the here and now — not in the discriminatory, exclusionary past."

Re: religion, it's perfectly obvious to many of us that Republicans have seriously tarnished that brand and people naturally now want little to do with it.

Wall Street Journal recently published an alarmist assessement of the recent NROC poll, which finds that, whereas 62% of Americans said that religion was very important to them in 1998, only 39% say this now. In 1998, 70% of Americans valued patriotism. NORC is reporting now that the figure this year is 38%.

As Eugene Robinson says, there's another way to read NORC's findings than in the alarmist way of the US right.

And this: A #WSJ #NORC poll found that most #Americans believe that their children's lives will be worse than their own. Four out of five respondents said that the #economy is in a not-so-good or poor state, and nearly half think it will get worse in the next year. <how about #climatecrisis?> https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/WSJ_NORC_Topline_EconQuestionsMarch2023.pdf #FutureGenerations #FinancialStability #banking #FinancialSystem
