Less than half of young adults ‘proud’ to be American

Young voters have an unfavorable view of how things are going in the United States, with less than half agreeing they are “proud to be an American” in a new poll.

According to the Blueprint poll released Wednesday, just 42% of young voters ages 18-30 are proud to be American, while 64% believe that America is in decline. Half say it’s accurate to describe America as a “hellscape,” dystopia,” or “dying empire.”
