** In a politically polarized era, sharp divides in both partisan coalitions ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Partisanship continues to be the dividing line in the U.S. public’s political attitudes, far surpassing differences by age, race and ethnicity, gender and other factors.

Read more on how Americans view:
* Major problems facing the U.S. ([link removed])
* The role of government ([link removed])
* The economic system and social safety net ([link removed])
* Race and immigration ([link removed])
* Gender, family and marriage, same-sex marriage and religion ([link removed])
* Foreign policy: Diplomacy, U.S. power, global economy ([link removed])
* Domestic policy: Taxes, environment, health care ([link removed])
