Americans' pride in US history and democracy drops, and fewer are proud to be American, polls find

  • By LINLEY SANDERS, SIMRAN PARWANI and AMELIA THOMSON-DEVEAUX Associated Press

A new AP-NORC poll finds that Americans have grown less proud of the country's history or the way its democracy works over the past several years. Americans' pride in the U.S. on several key attributes has dropped since 2017. That includes Americans' pride in the nation's military and its political influence around the globe. Much of the declining positivity comes from Democrats, who polling suggests have become increasingly disenchanted with the United States in the years since President Donald Trump was first elected. A new Gallup poll also finds that overall pride in being American has fallen to a record low. Despite the drops in pride, most adults living in the U.S. say being an American is "extremely" or "very" important to their identity.
