American Patriotism Hits New Low This Independence Day

- As the nation celebrates Independence Day, pride in America has become a casualty of today’s polarized political environment.
The share of those who say they’re either extremely or very proud of being an American reached the lowest point since Gallup first conducted the survey in 2001. For a second straight year, less than half of Americans consider themselves “extremely proud,” down from a peak of 70% in 2004 and driven by low patriotism among Democrats and political independents.
The gap by political affiliation is at the widest point ever. National pride among Democrats has plunged since President Donald Trump took office, with just 22% now indicating extreme pride, the lowest on record and half what it was months before the last election. Some 76% of Republicans indicate they are extremely proud of being an American.
By comparison, “when Barack Obama was in office, Republicans’ extreme pride never fell below 68%,” according to the report.
Several subgroups -- women, liberals and younger adults -- all express lower levels of extreme U.S. pride. The opposite is more readily found among men, conservatives and older Americans.
One thing that the majority of Americans do agree on, regardless of political affiliation -- both the American political and the health and welfare system fail to instill pride. Only about a third of respondents say the political system makes them proud to be an American, compared with more than two-thirds who say it doesn’t.

Patriotism isn’t about who’s in office. It’s about the values described in the constitution.
Nobody is talking about that, you obviously are a Democrat and that's your defense of the non-patriotic Democrats! And if you tell me you're Conservative, sorry, I don't believe you.
Good point but it’s hard not to connect patriotism and to who’s in office. This goes two ways actually.
When Obama was president, my patriotism was restored and I was happy to be an American.
It’s about who is representing your nation.
It's about doing what's best for your country. That's a patriot
And one group of people historically defies that constitution.
@@Will-sq3ip Yet he's one of the LEAST patriotic people...
The worst is when immigrants or close descendants of immigrants hate patriotism and hate their country. It’s like, this country gave your family such a great life, you should be grateful!
How distressing 😢 May they open their eyes and be proud of their magnificent country 🇺🇸
Na I'll make them patriotic for sure. I'm gonna sing 'Country Roads' as loud as i can. Next month I'm traveling to the USA!

Down with the traitors ! Up with the stars ! ***
I guess if your idea of a model president is someone as crude, rude and lewd as Donald Trump then you are very proud to be an American these days. The rest of us regard him (and some of his ardent supporters) as a national embarrassment.
You have my vote. I am not eligible to vote in Dumbassville but you would make a real contribution to city council.
@@1247.cccccc why can't you vote in your own home town? Registered sex offender?
Oh please Joe Biden is a public pervert.
Let’s keep the patriotism declining guys 🙏
