Americans' National Pride Near Record Low

Recent Gallup Poll data reveals that American pride is near record lows, with only 41% of respondents stating they are 'extremely proud' to be American. This sentiment has been on a downward trend since 2015, with 18% feeling 'moderately proud,' 10% 'only a little' proud, and 5% 'not at all' proud. The divide in national pride is evident among political affiliations, with 59% of Republicans, 34% of Democrats, and 36% of Independents expressing extreme pride. This trend remains consistent over the years, showing a decline in extreme pride among Republicans as well. The findings reflect complex emotions around patriotism, with differing perspectives on what it means to be proud of one's country.
