Less than one week before Americans are set to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, new polling shows American pride has hit a new low nationwide.
About one-third of the country identifies as “extremely proud” to be an American, with a 56-percentage-point pride gap between Republicans and Democrats, according to a new Gallup poll. Just 33% of Americans say they are “extremely proud” to live in the United States in 2026, compared to 52% who were “extremely proud” to be an American one decade ago and 59% who said the same two decades ago.
