Overview

• Gallup’s June 2–19 survey finds 58% of U.S. adults are very or extremely proud to be American, down nine points from 67% in 2024 and marking the lowest reading on record.
• Patriotism divides sharply along party lines, with 92% of Republicans reporting high pride compared with 36% of Democrats and 53% of independents.
• Each successive generation shows declining enthusiasm, with only 41% of Generation Z saying they are very or extremely proud to be American.
• National pride has slid from nearly 90% in the early 2000s to today’s record low as political polarization and age-based gaps widen.
• Gallup cites economic pessimism among young people, widespread dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, deeper ideological splits and intense partisan rancor under both Trump and Biden as driving factors.
