A new poll by McLaughlin and Associates offers evidence that the distorted view of America coming from those cultural institutions has been surprisingly successful in doing just that.

Conducted in conjunction with United in Purpose, a non-partisan group working to improve public policy by promoting the traditional values of America’s founders, the poll sampled the opinions of 1,000 likely voters on a number of political issues.
