At 250 Years, 77% Say U.S. Founders Would Be Disappointed. [View all]

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, just 19% of Americans say the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be pleased with how the country has turned out.
Just over three in four Americans (77%) now say the founders would be disappointed, compared with 71% in 2013 and 42% in 2001. The latest findings come from a May 2026 Gallup survey.
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say the founders would be pleased (25% vs. 13%), with independents at 21%. The 2013 and 2026 readings appear to correspond more closely than in previous years with which party holds the White House. In 2013, when Barack Obama was president, 12% of Republicans and 42% of Democrats said the founders would be pleased. However, across political identities, evaluations are significantly lower than they were in 2003 and earlier.

PERSONALLY, I refuse to celebrate. This has turned into a shithole Country, and as an American, I am truly ashamed of what has happened, while we stood silently. Apparently, no one, anywhere with any amount of power cannot stop the muttering, rotting fool that squats in the Peoples House.

It's shameful.
