A record low number of U.S. adults report that they are “extremely proud to be American.” Just 38%, which is the lowest percentage since Gallup began tracking the trend in 2001.
Breitbart “This record-low level of extreme national pride comes at a challenging time in the U.S. as a pandemic-weary public is struggling with the highest U.S. inflation rate, courtesy of Joe Biden’s energy slashing policies, in more than four decades.
The current 38% expressing extreme pride is well below the 55% trend average and 80% “extremely or very proud” average. While Republicans “consistently outpaced Democrats and independents” since 2001 and still do today,” the GOP’s recording of “extreme national pride” is at its lowest point in the trend (58%). Independents’ extreme pride is also at its lowest point on record (34%).
Democrats hit a record low of 22% in 2019 and rose to 31% in 2021 “at the start of Joe Biden’s presidency.” But as Biden’s first term continued, Democrats’ extreme pride dipped down to 26%.
“All three major party groups show double-digit declines in pride compared with 2013, with Democrats’ 30-point decline the largest. The current 32-point gap in Democratic versus Republican pride is larger than the historical average though smaller than the record-high 54-point gap in 2019,” the survey report states.
Overall, majorities of each political affiliation say they are at least “very proud,” including 84 percent of GOP voters, 62 percent of independents, and 52 percent of Democrats. National pride is highest among Republicans, men, older Americans, and those without a college degree.

My comment didn’t get through last time so I will try again.
To all my American brothers and sisters, ALWAYS be proud of being American! I love your country. It’s not YOUR fault that you have a bumbling incompetent you never voted for who has surrounded himself with other bumbling incompetents (Cackling Kamala, anyone?).
You need to take back your country. By revolution if needed.
Buck foe Jiden and hope you all had a happy 4 July despite him (BTW, I heard his despondent 4 July message telling Americans they live in despondent times).
In the meantime, our media continue to cover up for this installed disaster but most Kiwis (New Zealanders to those who don’t know the informal term) don’t listen to them. It gives me heart to read my newsfeed and readers’ comments and to find out that most Kiwis feel like I do.

Schmuck Biden still has around a 30% approval rating which I’ll never understand. Every time I fill up the gas tank or shop for groceries,
I see Biden’s ugly face on the price tag.

It’s difficult to have pride in a country that has a dementia ridden INSTALLED leader ruining everything that set us apart from other countries. Like most of you (if not all), I’d still die to insure freedom for the next generation, even though they don’t appreciate the sacrifices and piss on our wonderful flag.
Amboyduke says
You got that right, Bugsy…I am a Canadian who happens to love the good old U.S. of A., but I find it extremely difficult to understand and accept that a fool like Biden could have won the 2020 election…because I find it appalling that “if” he did win it…fair and square, which I proudly admit that I don’t believe…but even if 1/3 of his votes were legit…it’s hard to believe there are that many fools who would vote for him.
Granted, they probably had no idea he was as spun as he turned out to be, and getting worse by the second…but still…he was a known, sleazy, pathological liar from the get-go…and a grumpy, mean spirited, short tempered prick of a human being…so it might be a bit tough feeling proud of your country knowing that there are imbeciles that voted this goof into office, and that they JUST MIGHT DO IT AGAIN…because if they “fixed” 2020, they can “fix” 2024…and I personally feel that the “fix” was in during the 2016 event as well, but Trump beat their ass at their own game, so they MADE SURE he wouldn’t win in 2020…Just my delusional, yet rational thinking opinion…

Mega BILLIONS of dollars are gifted by the US regime to Ukraine, Muslim terrorist-controlled Afghanistan and other countries. Money urgently needed by homeless American vets and huge numbers of other desperate homeless Americans.
As of May 20, 2022, $54 BILLION had been given away by the Democrat-Communist regime to Ukraine whose govt boasted they were a NWO One World globalist govt.
We’re living in scary times thanks to the Obama-Biden regime who among multiple other destructive acts, have deliberately caused super high inflation. There’s a shocking lack of baby formula. The formula comes in and is gone in two days. When formula comes in, it’s kept locked up so that desperate parents won’t steal it.
The cruel US regime shut down the XL pipeline and other pipelines.
There are food shortages. Prices for food have sky-rocketed. The ruthless US regime intensely HATE American babies. The regime sent thousands of pallets of baby formula, food, clothing and other necessities to illegals at the US border.
And are importing millions of illegals as fast as they can including Afghanistan Muslim terrorists and other Muslim terrorists.
This is VERY frightening. It makes food shortages far worse as there’s not enough food for Americans. The Democrat-Communist regime know this and are eager to place the lives of Americans in extreme danger from the illegal invaders. Terrible crimes happen to people when there is a famine and no food.

We are proud to be Americans.
We are horrified and deeply ashamed of the wicked Obama-Biden America-hating regime. Communist puppet, traitor Biden, his son, Hunter and the entire regime have all been Bought and Paid for by the Communist Chinese Party.
Their wicked goal: The complete destruction of America. America transformed into a failed, Third World communist nation where people are starving and trying desperately to survive.
America made subservient to the United Nations Communist One World Government. And a religion written of in Revelation, the last book of the Bible. The religion that the traitor leaders of ALL religions will tell their people to join. DON’T join!
Their filthy religion is SATANISM. Don’t take the Mark! The Bible says without the mark, people will not be able to buy or sell anything. And that all who take the mark will go to Hell. For all eternity.
Look to God who loves you more than you can ever imagine and doesn’t want you to go to hell.
I stand in awe of such Amazing Love.
Amazing Grace – Best Version By Far!
