A Gallup-With Honor survey of more than 3,000 U.S. adults found 46% of Republicans rank patriotism among the nation’s top three needed values, versus 6% of Democrats—the widest partisan gap in the poll.
Democrats instead put equality first at 44%, followed by fairness at 34%, while Republicans favored responsibility at 41% and honesty at 38%, showing sharply different diagnoses of what the country lacks.
Patriotism still emerged as a broadly recognized common value: 32% said most Americans share it, second only to freedom at 38%, and 76% said Americans share at least one core value regardless of politics.
The split also tracked age, with 32% of adults 65 and older saying the nation needs more patriotism versus 12% of those 18 to 39.
Despite those divides, 79% said respecting different values matters more than sharing the same ones, and 70% said elected leaders should compromise across party lines.
