A stunning new NBC News poll reveals a stark collapse in patriotism among Democrats as America approaches its 250th birthday — with just 29% of self-identified Democrats reporting they are “extremely” or “very” proud to be American.
That’s an 85% to 29% freefall in a single generation.
Twenty-five years ago, 85% of Democrats said they were proud of their country. Today, barely one in four can say the same.
Just 29% of Democrats identify as “extremely” or “very” proud to be American — down from 85% twenty-five years ago.
The collapse isn’t driven solely by opposition to President Donald Trump. Polling shows Democrats reported very low levels of national pride even when their own political coalition controlled the White House.
Young Americans mirror the left’s hostility toward their own nation. Only 36% of 18-to-34-year-olds describe themselves as “extremely” or “very” proud to be American.
The numbers expose a cultural divide that has deepened dramatically in recent years — with the left abandoning the idea that America’s founding principles and achievements are worth celebrating.
While patriots prepare to mark America’s 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, progressive America is sitting the celebration out.
According to a new Elon University/YouGov poll, a full *55%* of Democrats said that they would rather live in a different country than the United States.
