HOME COUNTRY: We sure are strange sometimes…

We sure are strange sometimes. Most of the time, we make sense. We’re “sensible” and we do things for a reason. But there are times when we do things that make no sense at all, and we don’t care.

Just take pocketknives, for instance. Most men wouldn’t leave the house without one. I sure wouldn’t. In fact, I’ll bet if you stopped 10 men in business suits on the sidewalk in New York City or London and asked them to turn their pockets out for you, at least eight of them would be carrying a pocketknife. And one of them would be bound to call the police because of your weird request.

Written by Allen Houston

June 26 – 29, 2026 | 1,606 U.S. adult citizens

Overview

In this week’s Economist/YouGov poll:

Half of Americans support eliminating health insurance companies and several other socialist policy proposals
More Independents say the Republican Party is too extreme than say the Democratic Party is

Plus polling on Trump’s priorities, the Kennedy Center, the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool, same-sex marriage, transgender student athletes, and gas prices.

That’s smaller than the shares who describe themselves with several other ideological adjectives offered in a poll question, including progressive (17%), liberal (23%), and conservative (34%).
