Summary
48% of Americans surveyed could not identify what America 250 commemorates, according to a new national poll released ahead of the country's 250th anniversary.
The findings point to a gap between patriotic sentiment and basic civic knowledge, with respondents expressing national pride while lacking familiarity with the milestone itself.
America 250 marks the 250th anniversary of the United States, making the poll an early warning for organizers trying to build public engagement before the commemoration.
