To display their loyalty to the United States, Americans recite the Pledge of Allegiance, ending with the key phrase “with liberty and justice for all.” But just over half of Americans actually believe that to be true. That said, a lot more wouldn't live anywhere else in the world.



Fifty-three percent of American Adults agree that the United States is a nation with liberty and justice for all, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Forty percent disagree and say the United States is not like that.



Still, 79 percent of Americans say that if they had a choice to live anywhere in the world, they would still choose to live in the United States. Just 11 percent disagree, while 10 percent more are undecided.



Findings to both these questions have shown little change in surveys since 2008.



The survey of 1,000 American Adults nationwide was conducted on July 2, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
