Polls find that Americans’ Pride in U.S. History and Democracy Have Dropped

Americans have grown less proud of their country's history or the way its democracy works over the past 10 years, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

Americans' pride in the U.S. on several key attributes has dropped since 2017 — including the nation's military skills and its political influence around the globe — according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. This poll was conducted in April, as the United States and Iran fought over the Strait of Hormuz in a prolonged war that started with the U.S. and Israel launching strikes on Iran.

New Gallup polling also finds that only 53 percent of U.S. adults are "extremely" or "very" proud to be an American, the lowest reading in the trend dating back to 2001.
