American Pride Falls Sharply Among Democrats and Gen Z, Gallup Finds
- A Gallup survey carried out between June 2 and 19, 2024, revealed that just 58% of American adults feel extremely or very proud to be American, marking the lowest level recorded since 2001.
- This decline reflects long-term erosion driven by political polarization, generational shifts, and dissatisfaction with politicians' inability to solve everyday problems.
- Democrats show the most significant drop in national pride, with just 36% expressing pride, while 92% of Republicans maintain high levels of patriotism; younger generations, especially Gen Z, also report lower pride.
- Jeffrey M. Jones from Gallup pointed out a clear generational trend, noting that patriotism declines with each successive generation, with Generation Z showing the lowest levels of patriotism compared to all other groups.
- These trends suggest national unity has eroded over 25 years and may continue to decline unless future political developments renew Americans' sense of collective pride.
