Most Americans still say they are proud to be American, but that pride now divides sharply by party, generation, and what people believe the country is living up to.\n\nThen, as the oldest Baby Boomers turn 80, we examine how Americans think about death, end-of-life planning, and the gap between being comfortable talking about death and actually preparing for it.\n\nAnd, finally, we look back at how Americans once felt about moving major holidays to Mondays in the name of a longer weekend.\n\nmaristpoll.com/podcast"}
