On the latest episode of Poll Hub, we discuss the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that it is illegal to terminate a person’s employment based on his or her sexual orientation. Public opinion has been moving in that direction for decades. We discuss the significance of the Court’s decision in light of that trend and why the decision may have been a bit of a surprise. (Spoiler alert: the surprise may not be what you think.) Then, new data shows that American pride is trending downward. We assess the numbers, compliments of the Gallup Poll, and explain where the change is occurring and why.
