A poll released Wednesday revealed that Donald Trump voters think that hamburgers are the “most American” food to eat on July 4, while Democrats prefer hot dogs.

Thirty-nine percent of Trump voters backed hamburgers as the best July 4 holiday food, while 33 percent of Hillary Clinton voters prefer hot dogs.
Beer came in third place as the most American drink, while watermelon and barbeque chicken placed right behind beer.

On Tuesday, the Hill surveyed politicians across the political spectrum to learn if they prefer hot dogs or hamburgers.

House Republican Study Committee (RSC) chairman Mark Walker (R-NC) said he likes hot dogs.
Rep. Walker contended, “It’s gotta be a hot dog. In North Carolina, they put slaw on it, so if you don’t like slaw, you gotta remember to take it off.”
In contrast, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) suggested he prefers a healthy salad for July 4.
“This Fourth of July, it’s going to be a salad. I’m going to be healthy for once so I can come back here and fight the good fight,” Blumenauer told the Hill.
