Overview

• Only 58 percent of U.S. adults say they are very or extremely proud to be American, down nine points from 2024 and the lowest level since Gallup began polling in 2001.
• Republicans remain overwhelmingly proud at 92 percent, while 36 percent of Democrats report high pride and independents fall to a new low of 53 percent.
• Generation Z leads the decline with just 41 percent expressing strong pride, compared with 58 percent of millennials, 71 percent of Gen X, 75 percent of baby boomers and 83 percent of the Silent Generation.
• Gallup’s data trace a steady erosion of national pride from post-9/11 unity through the Trump and Biden administrations.
• The recent downturn in overall pride has been driven almost entirely by declines among Democrats and independents, as Republican sentiment holds near historic highs.
