Only 36% of Democrats say they\u2019re \u201cextremely\u201d or \u201cvery\u201d proud to be American, according to\u00a0a new Gallup poll<\/a>, reflecting a dramatic decline in national pride that\u2019s also clear among young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The findings are a stark illustration of how many \u2014 but not all \u2014 Americans have felt less of a sense of pride in their country over the past decade. The split between Democrats and Republicans, at 56 percentage points, is at its widest since 2001. That includes all four years of Republican President Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only about 4 in 10 U.S. adults who are part of Generation Z, which is defined as those born from 1997 to 2012, expressed a high level of pride in being American in Gallup surveys conducted in the past five years, on average. That\u2019s compared with about 6 in 10 millennials \u2014 those born between 1980 and 1996 \u2014 and at least 7 in 10 U.S. adults in older generations.

\u201cEach generation is less patriotic than the prior generation, and Gen Z is definitely much lower than anybody else,\u201d said Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup. \u201cBut even among the older generations, we see that they\u2019re less patriotic than the ones before them, and they\u2019ve become less patriotic over time. That\u2019s primarily driven by Democrats within those generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slow erosion in national pride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s decline in national pride has been a slow erosion, with a steady downtick in Gallup\u2019s data since January 2001, when the question was first asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even during the tumultuous early years of the Iraq War, the vast majority of U.S. adults, whether Republican or Democrat, said they were \u201cextremely\u201d or \u201cvery\u201d proud to be American. At that point, about 9 in 10 were \u201cextremely\u201d or \u201cvery\u201d proud to be American. That remained high in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but the consensus around American pride slipped in the years that followed, dropping to about 8 in 10 in 2006 and continuing a gradual decline.

Now, 58% of U.S. adults say that, in a downward shift that\u2019s been driven almost entirely by Democrats and independents. The vast majority of Republicans continue to say they\u2019re proud to be American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independents\u2019 pride in their national identity hit a new low in the most recent survey, at 53%, largely following that pattern of gradual decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats\u2019 diminished pride in being American is more clearly linked to Trump\u2019s time in office. When Trump first entered the White House, in 2017, about two-thirds of Democrats said they were proud to be American. That had fallen to 42% by 2020, just before Trump lost reelection to Democrat Joe Biden.

But while Democrats\u2019 sense of national pride rebounded when Biden took office, it didn\u2019t go back to its pre-Trump levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just a Trump story,\u201d Jones said. \u201cSomething else is going on, and I think it\u2019s just younger generations coming in and not being as patriotic as older people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans and Democrats split on patriotism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Other recent polling shows that Democrats and independents are less likely than Republicans to say that expressing patriotism is important or to feel a sense of pride in their national leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 9 in 10 Republicans in a 2024 SSRS poll<\/a> said they believed patriotism has a positive impact on the United States, with Democrats more divided: 45% said patriotism had a positive impact on the country, while 37% said it was negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a more general sense of discontent was clear on both sides of the aisle earlier this year, when a CNN\/SSRS poll<\/a> found that fewer than 1 in 10 Democrats and Republicans said \u201cproud\u201d described the way they felt about politics in America today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that survey, most Americans across the political spectrum said they were \u201cdisappointed\u201d or \u201cfrustrated\u201d with the country\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
