National pride in the U.S. remains near historic lows, with 41% of Americans saying they are “extremely proud” to be American, according to a new Gallup poll. That figure marks the fifth straight year in the 38% to 43% range and continues a trend of declining patriotism that began in 2015.
An additional 26% say they are “very proud,” bringing the combined share of “extremely” or “very” proud Americans to 67% — just four points above the record low of 63% in 2020. In contrast, from 2001 to 2017, that number never dipped below 75%.
The latest data, gathered June 3–23, shows 18% of Americans are “moderately proud,” while 10% are “only a little” proud and 5% are “not at all” proud.
The divide along party lines is stark. Currently, 59% of Republicans report being extremely proud, compared to 34% of Democrats and 36% of independents. While the 25-point partisan gap is in line with historic trends, it remains well below the record 54-point gap in 2019.
Despite differences by party, all groups show lower levels of pride than they did two decades ago, when national unity peaked in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
