Nine in ten Americans can name either a recent news event or something about American politics that made them proud, according to the McCourtney Institute for Democracy’s latest Mood of the Nation Poll. In addition, when asked how angry or proud whatever they had identified made them feel, 46 percent said they felt “extremely angry” and the other half were asked, “What has recently been in the news that makes you feel angry?” Responses to the two questions were similar and, in both cases, wide ranging.
