## Resource

As we mark the 250th anniversary of our country… it will be a time of celebration, but perhaps also a reminder of how divided we are. A recent FOX News poll takes a closer look at our national mood ahead of the Fourth of July… and it finds more Americans are holding an unfavorable view of the country. So, why are some Americans sour on the nation? Daron Shaw, a member of the FOX News Decision Desk and a Republican pollster who helps conduct FOX News surveys, breaks down a poll showing more discontent with the country and why some are letting current partisan issues impact how they feel about the nation as a whole. Shaw also looks ahead to some of the key midterm races that could decide the balance of power in Washington this fall. Plus, FOX News Congressional Correspondent Bill Melugin speaks with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer about their recent report on the Minnesota fraud scandal.
