American patriotism has fallen to its lowest level since Gallup began tracking the sentiment in 2001. In a survey of 1,000 adults conducted 2-19 June, just 58 percent said they are “extremely” or “very” proud to be American, nine points fewer than last year and five points below the previous low recorded in 2020. The decline is concentrated on the political left. Only 36 percent of Democrats now express high levels of pride, down from 62 percent a year ago, while Republicans’ pride has risen to 92 percent. The resulting 56-point partisan gap is the widest in the poll’s history. Among political independents, pride slipped to a record-low 53 percent. Age differences are equally stark. Fewer than half of Generation Z adults (41 percent) say they are very or extremely proud; within Gen Z Democrats the figure falls to 24 percent. By contrast, pride remains above 70 percent among Baby Boomers and older Americans. Gallup first asked the question in January 2001, when 87 percent voiced strong national pride, a share that climbed to 91 percent after the 9/11 attacks. The trend began a steady descent in the mid-2010s and has accelerated in the past five years. Gallup’s latest reading arrives ahead of Independence Day celebrations and as the country prepares for its 250th anniversary in 2026.
