G20allup-Daten zeigen, dass im Jahr 2025 nur 58 % der Erwachsenen in den USA dies angeben "äußerst" oder "sehr" stolz, Amerikaner zu sein. Dies ist der niedrigste Wert, der verzeichnet wurde, seit Gallup 2001 begann, diese Frage zu stellen.
Die parteipolitische Divergenz ist frappierend:
- Republikaner bleiben über den gesamten Zeitraum hinweg nahezu überall stolz (84–99 %).
- Demokraten sank im Jahr 2025 auf ein Rekordtief von 36 %
- Unabhängige erreichte mit 53 % ebenfalls ein Rekordtief
Das Diagramm erfasst außerdem:
- der Anstieg des Nationalstolzes nach dem 11. September,
- ein kleiner Rückgang für Demokraten/Unabhängige in der zweiten GW Bush-Präsidentschaft
- relative Stabilität bis zum Ende der Obama-Präsidentschaft
- und die starke Polarisierung, die sich nach 2016/2017 beschleunigte.
Eines der bemerkenswertesten Muster besteht darin, dass der Nationalstolz zunehmend davon abhängt, ob die Partei eines Wählers das Weiße Haus kontrolliert. Bei den Demokraten war dieser Effekt jedoch in den letzten Jahren viel stärker als bei den Republikanern in der Vergangenheit.

Die meisten Umfragen wurden im Juni durchgeführt, was bedeutet, dass die Werte die Stimmung vor den Feierlichkeiten zum Unabhängigkeitstag widerspiegeln.
Gallup hat die Länge der Feldarbeit im Laufe der Zeit leicht geändert (einige dauern ca. 3–4 Tage, andere ca. 2–3 Wochen), der Wortlaut blieb jedoch konsistent.

Once again, Republicans just out there in their own stupid little world.
I don’t think your conclusion is right though. Seems to me that national pride isn’t tied to the presidency for Republicans. It’s pretty blind. Where as for Dems and independents it’s been on a downward trend since 9/11 with noise around elections.
Neat, could use a national average range graph but this conveys meaning and data well
One of the reasons American democracy is suffering is that Democrats have given up the market on patriotism / national pride (Perceptions wise).
Its easy to paint democrats as America haters.
The latest data is from June 2025, that was 5 months into Trump II. The graph makes it look like it was taken on the transition.
One group is living in a different reality than the others
Seems like strong Nationalism is a defining quality of being a Republican.
As one’s pride in America starts to wane, I wonder if they still see themselves as a Republican or do they start to identify as an Independent since they no longer identify with one of the defining qualities of the larger group.
Holy shit over half of Americans are proud to be American in 2025? That’s wild
Blind patriotism is so dangerous and the chart explains a lot. It’s even very high for the left.
This is one of the main differences between Republicans and democrats. Republicans love America, even when things aren’t going their way. Democrats love democrats.
2014 and 2015 merged as one decline interval on the graph
Wonder how much Russian influence in the wake of 2014 has to with this all that
Weird how democrats started to really hate the country at the end of Obamas 2nd term.
I think it’s interesting that repubs stayed pretty stead on the chosen presidencies, through repub and dem presidents. Less than repubs staying steady though. I think the more interesting thing is that dems started to decline during Obama and have basically maintained that decline.
Doesn’t surprise me. Even when a dem is president republicans are still patriotic.

Hating on America is sort of a cultural ingroup attitude for liberals right now. I get it Trump sucks. That doesn’t define our whole country and culture. Acting very negatively is alienating and will actually hurt election prospects. It is too easy to show how x candidate is anti-American.
The major divergence happened in 2016 after Donald was elected. People are embarrassed to be represented by the emboldened criminals, abusers, and authoritarians that make up Donald’s Republican party.
Had this conversation with my boomer mother. She genuinely didn’t see why my siblings and I were so disillusioned with the US. In her mind, the problems are recent, but America on the whole is a great country.
To us millennials, the US has always been second rate at best. Compared to other developed nations the US is terrible in education, healthcare, life expectancy, criminal justice, workers‘ rights, sustainability, and overall happiness.
We never experienced a glowing version of the US our parents did. So we have nothing to be proud of.
This is an extremely clear illustration of one of the big problems with plurality voting: as long as you get 51% of the votes, it doesn’t matter how poorly the other 49% think of you. In other words, there is no incentive for moderation in a plurality system, only incentive to do whatever it takes to win your majority.
Anyone who cares about this issue should read about range voting, aka score voting. It forces every candidate to care about every voter’s opinion, not just their own base. (It’s also the closest to mathematically ideal of any known system, and easy to implement with existing, low-tech voting infrastructure.)
Republicans loose patriotism about the time they see their actual policies implemented and then each tine convince themselves to try again.
As an American, appending time overseas opens your eyes and reveals that national pride is usually reserved for sporting events.
Most countries figured out if your pride is in your nationality itself, you won’t allow criticism of it which is self-defeating.
I went from being proud to literally wishing I had been born in a different country because America went from feeling like a place of opportunity to a prison that is just nickel and diming me till I die and makes it very difficult to leave.
Republican pride will *always* be high (note: even during the Obama years, the man they called the antichrist and an illegal alien and a warmonger) because their political affiliation is a part of either
1) their religion
or
2) their „heritage“ (see: the Confederate flag, 2A, etc).
Quite literally, being a Republican is in their blood (heritage) or soul (religion). It is also why they cannot back away from Trump. Defying him is like defying their religion or heritage.
And a related note: I 100% believe Biden (for how embarrassingly decrepit he was/is) could have had similar (not EXACT) Obama-era level stats with Republicans, but Trump’s extreme level of mudslinging significantly dropped those numbers. Again, Obama was literally and constantly called the antichrist (and a non-native American, AND he’s Black), yet Republicans still had a higher approval rate with him.
National pride? This isn’t surprising considering R’s make their party affiliation their whole personality.
Gotta give it to the racists for their consistency.
The party of blind loyalty
This is actually very interesting. Republicans were prouder than Democrats, even when Obama and Biden were both presidents. I guess it shows that they love their country’s „feel“ and not what’s actually happening to it.
What is the bizarre shading between the lines supposed to represent?
I say I’m surprised but I’m not surprised
Proud to be American…embarrassed by our current leadership.
red kool-aid is trong stuff
God, if you read this country’s ACTUAL history, even poorly…
What month in 2001 did they ask? Aug != Oct that year
It makes sense. For a lot of Republicans, America and Evangelical Christianity are the same thing. Thanks to Trump, Warrior Jesus is *this close* to coming back to toss the libs in a lake of fire.
I can’t be proud of something I had no control over.
I can feel glad that I live in a land as beautiful & diverse as it is.
I appreciate the potential to have options for my life (though in reality that’s only true for those with money).
But no, I don’t feel any pride just because I happened to be born here, nor for the institution of this country.
The title really forms the wrong conclusion here. Pride at the end of Trump’s first term is visibly lower for Republicans, and is definitely not still at that level right now nationally. Let’s see Gallup perform the same survey in June 2026.
After seeing Republicans flagrantly violate the Constitution and lesser laws multiple times while they insult and threaten millions of Americans and deploy their private army as a terrorist threat, it’s very clear that conservatives actually hate America, and just coat their hate in more of their endless lies to avoid accountability for their evil.
