A new Gallup poll shows a sharp decline in national pride among Democrats, with just 36% describing themselves as “extremely” or “very” proud to be American — the lowest level recorded for the party in the past 25 years.
The results, released Monday, reflect a significant drop from 2024, when 62% of Democrats reported being extremely or very proud of their country.
According to Gallup, the decrease in Democratic pride has contributed to an overall decline in national pride across the board, now at a record low of 58%.

Gallup noted that Democrats’ current level of pride is even lower than in 2020, when it dipped to 42%.
That figure had climbed substantially to 62% following the inauguration of Joe Biden in 2021 and remained above 50% for most of his term.
The last time over 80% of Democrats reported strong national pride was under former President Barack Obama.
In contrast, Republicans have maintained consistently high levels of patriotism regardless of changes in political leadership.

In 2024, while Biden was still in office, 85% of Republicans said they were “very” or “extremely” proud to be American.
That level has remained within the 80-90% range even after President Donald Trump returned to office.
Gallup noted that Republican patriotism has remained steady since it began measuring national pride in 2001.

Independents also registered a notable drop in national pride. According to the survey, 53% of independents said they were extremely or very proud to be American, down from 64% in 2024.
Generational data from the poll reveals that patriotism declines with age, particularly among younger Americans.
Generation Z reported the lowest levels of national pride, with only 41% saying they are very or extremely proud to be American.
In comparison, 58% of Millennials, 71% of Generation X, and 75% of Baby Boomers expressed the same level of pride.
The poll was conducted before President Trump’s June 21 decision to bomb Iranian nuclear sites, an action that has since drawn broad approval among voters, according to a separate Tyson Group survey cited by Axios on Friday.
The Gallup findings come as the country approaches Independence Day, offering a data-driven snapshot of Americans’ current attitudes toward their national identity.
The gap between partisan views of patriotism continues to widen, with Republicans showing enduring pride in the United States while Democrats and younger voters report declining enthusiasm.
The full survey results are available on Gallup’s website and are based on responses gathered prior to the late-June international military developments.
Gallup has measured Americans’ pride in being American annually since 2001.
The 2025 figures mark the lowest overall national pride recorded during that period, largely driven by the drop among Democrats and independents.
