What Happened
Multiple polls suggest a notable decline in national pride among Americans, with a significant drop in those who identify as proud to be American. This sentiment extends to pride in American history and democracy, which has also seen a decrease.
One poll indicates that overall American pride has reached a 25-year low. Another report highlights that only 14% of Democrats identify as 'extremely proud' to be American, contributing to the overall trend of declining patriotism.
