That's a remarkable statistic. Because from my Democratic perception, Republicans are more likely to say, out loud, that Democrats are morally bad.
I wonder if it's a difference in the way they interpret the question, which is about "Americans" rather than the other party. One thought: when Democrats say they think Americans are morally bad, they mean Republicans. And when Republicans say that Americans are not morally bad, they also mean Republicans. Perhaps because Democrats are, as they have often said, "not real Americans".
That's pure speculation, of course. I'm just having trouble squaring this rosy statistic with the constant stream of Republican messaging about "woke", "PC", "open borders", and other synonyms for "bad".
Perhaps it's one of those things like I've heard about Iran, where when they say "death to America" is doesn't actually mean "death to America".
