Americans say U.S. is great, but Republicans believe it more than Democrats - Washington Times
"As America prepares to ring in its 242nd birthday, a new survey finds that while a majority of its people say the U.S. is one of the greatest countries in the world, Republicans are more likely to support that statement than Democrats, according to a report by the Pew Research Center.
An estimated 

• 41 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents support that the U.S. “stands above other countries”, compared to 
• 19 percent of Democrats and those that lean Democratic.

...Across racial categories, a similar share of whites (30 percent), blacks (31 percent) and Hispanics (26 percent) view the U.S. as a great country and on par with some other countries, the authors wrote.
But there is a large gap in viewpoint based on age group, the researchers found, with 

• Americans 65 and older more likely to say the U.S. stands above all other nations (44 percent) compared to 
• 12 percent of those age 30 or younger.
