Summary
A June 12-15 Reuters/Ipsos poll of 1,537 U.S. adults found only 27% of Democrats plan to display a U.S. flag or bunting on July 4, compared with 64% of Republicans.
The partisan gap extended to the holiday’s meaning: 65% of Republicans called July 4 a day to celebrate the United States, versus 24% of Democrats.
Traditional celebrations also split sharply, with Republicans more likely to wear red, white and blue, attend fireworks, and go to parades or festivals.
About 24% of Democrats and independents said they do not plan to celebrate Independence Day at all, compared with 8% of Republicans.
The poll adds to broader signs of fraying national cohesion ahead of America’s 250th birthday, with other surveys showing declining patriotism and deep value-based divisions.
