This is a difficult question to answer because survey results will differ, depending on when the survey is taken and what is going on in the culture at that time (during a war for example, patriotic feelings will influence survey results). But whether surveys are taken in war-time or peace-time, a large majority of Americans from both political parties consistently say they admire and respect the Constitution; it is seen as an important symbol of what America stands for.
However, despite the fact that the Constitution is a founding document in American history, not everyone knows what it contains, since most people do not study it in depth. It would be safe to say that Americans do know it guarantees them certain basic rights and freedoms. But while large majorities are proud of the Constitution, there have sometimes been calls for changes or additions to it; this has resulted in amendments being added (such as the one that gave women the right to vote). Yet even during times of social unrest, or times when certain groups want the Constitution amended, the document itself is still viewed favorably by the majority of Americans.
