Among younger people, yes. When I was growing up in NYC most of the people I knew were 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. Many of these immigrant communities back then still carried the traditions of their parents and grandparents. Italian and Jewish communities retained communist and anarchist roots. FDR was worshipped as a god. My grandparents loved him, and so did my friend's families. When my mother's family found out my dad supported Nixon over Kennedy, it almost ended the engagement.
I find that understanding history often calms me about the direction of the world. So many are ignorant of how the US has shifted in our history.
