10 Surprising Things Most Americans Agree On
We live in some crazy times. A lot is going on. Right now, Americans don't get along much. Politics, women's reproductive rights, racial, and religious tensions have the country at odds. Not to mention the wars abroad, and a looming Presidential election. There are a lot of things to disagree about.
Even with all of this on the table, believe it or not, most Americans agree about more things than we disagree. CBS compiled a list of topics, that 1,500 people, from all walks of life, ages, and genders were surveyed from January 2022 - September 2022.
The goal was to see how many of those topics Americans could find common ground on. Surprisingly enough, the survey/polls/trackers were data collected from YouGov. The result revealed that Americans agreed on more than 50 topics, and below are the top 10 things:
1. POLITICS - At least 65% of Americans feel exhausted thinking about politics.
2. RUSSA - 85.3% of Americans believe Russia and China are our enemies.
3. FREEDOM & LIBERTY - Most Americans surveyed believe civil rights and liberty are more important than protecting the country from terrorism.
