American patriotism has fallen to a new low, according to Gallup’s latest national survey. Only 58 percent of U.S. adults now say they are “extremely” or “very” proud to be American—the smallest share since the polling firm first asked the question in 2001. The poll of 1,000 adults, conducted 2–19 June with a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points, found 41 percent describe themselves as “extremely proud” and another 17 percent as “very proud,” a combined nine-point slide from 2024 and five points below the previous low set in 2020. The downturn is driven largely by Democrats: just 36 percent express strong pride, down 26 points year-over-year and 51 points below their 2001 reading. Republican pride moved in the opposite direction, climbing seven points to 92 percent and widening the partisan gap to a record 56 percentage points. Pride among political independents fell to 53 percent, also the lowest Gallup has recorded. Generational splits reinforce the trend. Fewer than half of Generation Z adults (41 percent) say they are extremely or very proud, compared with 58 percent of millennials, 71 percent of Generation X and 75 percent of baby boomers. Overall, national pride has been eroding steadily from the post-9/11 peak of 90 percent, underscoring a deepening divide in how Americans view their country as Independence Day approaches.
