TOGETHER WE WIN!
Americans are more focused on what we have in common, new research finds
A remarkable three quarters of Americans — including members of both the wings and the exhausted majority — do not feel that our political differences are so great that we cannot find common ground.
Overall, this research has several important implications.
First, it shows that, in contrast to the typical us-versus-them narrative widely seen on news shows and in social media, a majority of Americans hold mixed political views. As a result, most Americans are hungry for voices that soothe division instead of inflaming it.
Second, it suggests that our path forward must build on what we have in common. While Americans disagree on many issues, there is still a chance to regain the American story that build on values shared by all, including hard work, tolerance, fairness, and respect.
Finally, it means that, no matter who wins the midterm elections on Nov.6, the most important day will be Nov.7 when we ask ourselves: How will we move forward as a country? We will need to have the strength and humility to see each other’s humanity rather than as bitter enemies in an all-out war.
