Gallup: U.S. National Pride Falls After Trump Return

American national pride has fallen to its lowest level since Gallup began tracking it in 2001, with only 58% of adults saying they are extremely or very proud to be American, a 9-point drop from the prior year. The decline is most pronounced among Democrats, whose pride dropped 26 points to a record-low 36%, while Republican pride increased to 92%, highlighting deepening partisan divides. Generationally, only 41% of Gen Z adults report strong national pride, further underscoring widening gaps. Experts attribute the trend to political polarization, economic concerns, and dissatisfaction with both parties. The survey notes that pride among Democrats and independents has fallen sharply since Trump's return to office, while Republicans report historically high pride. The findings point to an erosion of national unity and patriotism driven by both generational changes and ideological divides.
