Summary
Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: What one word would you use to describe the United States? Michael examines a striking Associated Press/NORC survey that asked Americans to describe the United States in just one word—and the answers reveal deep partisan and cultural divides. From “powerful” and “free” to “struggling,” “corrupt,” and “divided,” Michael explores how Republicans, Democrats, and independents see the nation differently, while also discussing what Americans believe unites and divides us most.
