U.S. national pride by political affiliation since 2001
**Gallup data show that just 58% of U.S. adults in 2025 say they are "extremely" or "very" proud to be American. This is the lowest level recorded since Gallup began asking the question in 2001.**
The partisan divergence is striking:
* **Republicans** remain near-universally proud across the entire period (84-99%)
* **Democrats** fell to a record low of 36% in 2025
* **Independents** also hit a record low at 53%
The chart also captures:
* the post-9/11 surge in national pride,
* a small drop for Democrats/Independents in the second G. W. Bush presidency
* relative stability up to the end of the Obama presidency
* and the sharp polarization that accelerated after 2016/2017.
One of the most notable patterns is that national pride increasingly appears tied to whether a voter's party controls the White House, but the effect is much stronger among Democrats in recent years than among Republicans historically.
