Only 36% of Democrats and 53% of Independents reported feeling pride, marking a notable drop attributed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/school-district-board-prez-under-fire-after-discovery-of-dossier-containing-parents-personal-info\/\" title=\"School District Board Prez Under Fire After Discovery Of Dossier Containing Parents\u2019 Personal Info\">political sentiments<\/a> during former President Trump&#8217;s second term. The poll suggests that Democratic pride correlates more wiht the success of their political agenda than traditional American values. In contrast, 92% of Republicans reported feeling pride in their nationality, showcasing a consistent sense of patriotism. The article argues that Americans should recognise and celebrate their freedoms and privileges, particularly during Independence Day festivities, emphasizing the crucial values and opportunities afforded by living in the United States.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>As the Fourth of July approaches, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mitch-mcconnells-betrayal-hurts-the-nation-goodwin\/\" title=\"Mitch McConnell\u2019s betrayal hurts the nation\">recent survey<\/a> of U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-86-of-workers-dont-want-to-return-to-office-full-time\/\" title=\"POLL: 86% Of Workers Don\u2019t Want To Return To Office Full-Time\">adults showed<\/a> that 58 percent of Americans are indeed &ldquo;extremely&rdquo; or &ldquo;very&rdquo; proud to be Americans, according to a recent Gallup polling.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/692150\/american-pride-slips-new-low.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> showed that despite the large majority of 58 percent being prideful, it still represents a drop from 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That fall is largely driven by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/liberals-will-hate-notorious-former-doge-employee-scores-new-role-us-government\/\">Democrats<\/a>&rsquo; and Independents&rsquo; national pride sharply cratering in the first year of the Trump 2.0 era,&rdquo; Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/07\/01\/american-pride-record-low-gallup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Only a mere 36 percent of Democrats said they were extremely or very proud to be an American.

Well, I guess that makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Democratic pride is not linked to the freedoms Americans enjoy, as much as it&rsquo;s linked to their agenda being enacted by far-left politicians.<\/p>\n<p>Gallup said this is only the second time in their polling that Democrats&rsquo; pride has slipped below the majority level, with the prior dip coming during the final year of Trump&rsquo;s first administration.<\/p>\n<p>This shouldn&rsquo;t come as a surprise, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-issues-correction-karoline-leavitt-shoots-fake-news-report-iran-strike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mainstream media<\/a>, academia, and Hollywood tell Democrats to be furious any time Trump is in power.<\/p>\n<p>It comes down to the radical nature of the left.<\/p>\n<p>Major segments of the Democratic Party are hellbent on proclaiming anti-American sentiments, no matter the cost.<\/p>\n<p>It stands to reason that when a country elects a commander-in-chief who promises to put the nation first, they recoil in disgust and turn against the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Gallup poll, however, showed that 92 percent of Republicans said they were extremely or very proud to be an American.<\/p>\n<p>That says it all. Republicans are known for being pro-American, patriotic, unapologetic, and willing to point out what separates the U.S. from other countries around the world.<\/p>\n<p>If there was ever a time to feel proud, it is now.<\/p>\n<p>We have a deep foothold in Silicon Valley via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/elon-musk-fires-fixer-problems-continue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elon Musk preaching free speech<\/a> &mdash; despite what the mainstream media says about his feud with Trump &mdash; and the president&rsquo;s electoral victory vindicated many patriotic Americans who felt the federal government had gone too far to the left.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Republicans who say they&rsquo;re proud to be Americans has remained remarkably steady for decades,&rdquo; according to the Axios report.<\/p>\n<p>Even when Barack Obama took over as president, Republicans maintained a sense of pride in their homeland.

We can worship and educate our family in any way we see fit, and we can assert our rights against corrupt law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>We also benefit from freedom of the press that can defend the downtrodden when they are trampled on by the enemies of faith and freedom.<\/p>\n<p>You would be crazy not to have pride in this, our great American experiment.

However, this figure marks a decline from 2020. Axios reports that this decrease is primarily due to a significant drop in national pride among Democrats and Independents since the onset of the Trump administration. Only 36% of Democrats expressed strong pride in being American, while 53% of Independents shared similar feelings. Interestingly, during Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency, Democratic pride rose to 62%. <\/p>\n<p>Gallup noted that this is only the second instance where Democratic pride has fallen below majority levels, with the previous dip occurring during Trump&#8217;s first term. This trend aligns with how mainstream media and other influential sectors often encourage negative sentiments towards Trump among Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The left&#8217;s radical elements seem intent on promoting anti-American views regardless of consequences. When a leader prioritizes national interests, some individuals react negatively and turn against their own country.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, an impressive 92% of Republicans reported feeling extremely or very proud to be American-highlighting their patriotic stance and willingness to celebrate what distinguishes the U.S. from other nations.<\/p>\n<p>Now is an opportune moment for Americans to take pride in their country as they enjoy freedoms like free speech and religious expression-privileges not universally available worldwide.
