Americans' Pride in US History and Democracy Drops, and Fewer Are Proud to Be American, Polls Find
The decline is driven largely by Democrats, while Republicans remain far more likely to say the military and democracy make them proud.
- The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reports a broad decline in American pride, with public confidence in democracy falling 14 percentage points to 28% since February 2017.
- Falling positivity reflects a tumultuous period including President Donald Trump's first term, the COVID-19 pandemic, and economic inflation, which fueled backlash against President Joe Biden.
- Republicans are significantly more likely to express extreme pride, with 70% doing so compared to only 14% of Democrats, according to Gallup's new poll.
- Younger people are less likely to prioritize being American, compared to about three-quarters of Americans ages 60 and older who value their national identity highly.
- Among Black Americans, 73% say their race or ethnicity is extremely or very important to their identity, reflecting broader patterns where demographic identity increasingly supersedes national pride.
