KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The partisan gap is staggering: 70% of Republicans are “extremely” proud versus just 14% of Democrats.
• Democrats’ rejection of patriotism, not national decline, is driving the collapse in American pride.
• Conservatives and older Americans remain the steadfast guardians of national identity heading into the 250th anniversary.

Democrats can sulk through the semiquincentennial if that suits them. They can treat Independence Day like just another summer Saturday. But the rest of us — the ones who still stand when the anthem plays, who still teach our kids what 1776 meant — aren’t going anywhere. America doesn’t need universal applause to endure. It just needs enough people willing to stand for it. Fly the flag this Saturday. Mean it.
The Dims have increased their hatred for American year after year even before Trump came down the escalator. Trump has just become the focal point of the Dims' hatred for America.

According to a new Gallup poll, just 53 percent of all adults are “very” or “extremely” proud to be American, which is the lowest point dating back to 2001. The remaining share of adults in the poll said they were “moderately proud” (22 percent), “only a little proud” (15 percent), or “not proud at all” (9 percent).
According to another survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research of 2,596 adults conducted April 16-20, Americans’ pride in their country has declined on several metrics since 2017, including pride in the nation’s military and the country’s political influence around the world.
The decline in national pride can be tied to several major events, including the beginning of President Donald Trump’s first term, the COVID-19 pandemic and the high inflation Americans experienced under President Joe Biden. The findings also cover the second Trump administration, which has been marked by polarizing actions on issues including immigration and Iran.
The poll finds that much of the decline in patriotic sentiment stems from Democrats, who have become increasingly jaded about the country’s prospects since former President Barack Obama left office in 2017. AP-NORC found that the partisan divide in national pride, while already significant in 2017, has become even more pronounced nearly a decade later.
When asked about the U.S. armed forces, 86 percent of Republicans said they are extremely or very proud, compared with just 42 percent of Democrats.
When asked about the nation’s history, 68 percent of Republicans said they are extremely or very proud, while only 26 percent of Democrats said the same.
The divide is perhaps even more striking when it comes to America’s political influence around the world. Just 45 percent of Republicans said they are extremely or very proud of the country’s political influence, compared with only 10 percent of Democrats.
When asked whether being an American is extremely important to their identity, 76 percent of Republicans said it is, compared with 41 percent of Democrats.
The poll also found that younger Americans are less likely to say being an American is highly important to their personal identity. About three-quarters of Americans ages 60 and older said being an American is highly important to who they are, compared with only about one-third of adults under age 30.
On a related note, the AP-NORC poll found that 73 percent of Black Americans said their race or ethnicity is extremely important to how they see themselves. That share is higher than the percentage who said being an American is extremely important to their identity. Among white Americans, only 22 percent said their race or ethnicity is extremely important to how they see themselves.
“The Dims have increased their hatred for American year after year even before Trump came down the escalator. Trump has just become the focal point of the Dims’ hatred for America.’
TRUTH!
Thank you
How depressing would it be to live in a country you hate.
It really may just be time to divide the country. Dimocraps are like muslims you will never get along with them and like camel humpers there are too many to just get rid of them.
It would be a funny experiment to watch them languish as long as we had really strong borders. The reality is they want us to pay for their crap and drag us with them into perdition and ruin.
Fake news. BS polls. Who cares.
They’re contrarians. If Trump loves it, they hate it. It shows how little minded they are, incapable of critical or independent thinking.
And as to the flag- I wore it on my uniform for 25 years, and most of my shirts have a flag on the sleeve.
Field of stars always forward of course.

I agree that most polls are fake dependent on how questions are phrased.

However, I find an interesting point is how few democrats are supportive of our country.
Notice the Gallup Poll doesn’t even give the sample size.
Democrats now are a pale reflection of far leftists. I grew up in a far left family, and they were philisophically opposed to borders and capitalism, and America. They kept repeating the same crap until I saw through it and got red pilled. Democrats now, are followers, beta males. Bernie, Madmany and/or AOC are the Alphas. Very pathetic and sad.
So if leftists are ashamed of America, they all are ashamed. They say it’s a “big tent”. I don’t see it. They all just parrot the party line. Besides, they stole that phrase from Reagan.
I have always and continue to admire your wise, honest comments.

Ask those living in North Korea. Of course they won't answer, because if they did they would be executed along with their family.
Well said.
Just ask the people of Afghanistan that question.
No, it is Democrat hatred for the United States of America. Trump is just the representative and focus of that hate.
Liberal 'pollsters' are as corrupt and biased as liberal so called 'journalists'. How a question is phrased determines the answers.
That said, we should offer a national 'win citizenship in a commie country' for disgruntled citizens. They have their number drawn and WIN a free trip to their new home commie country: North Korea, Cuba, China, etc etc... the only condition is they can NOT come back to the US for four years. After that time they can return or sign off on US citizenship forever.
Just like in China.
Along with every other right winger.
These young democrats who hate America and Trump have more than likely never ever been to other countries...They just don’t realize how well they have it here in America...
look at the way the World Cup visitors are reacting to the American life...
Says a lot...
