Multiple outlets report findings from recent public-opinion polls indicating a drop in Americans’ pride in U.S. history and in the country’s democracy, alongside a decline in the share of people who say they are proud to be American. The reporting describes a broad shift in attitudes rather than support tied to a specific party or policy issue. While details such as the precise poll sponsor, sample size, and year-to-year comparisons are not included in the provided excerpts, the articles converge on the same direction of change: fewer respondents express pride in the nation’s historical legacy and democratic system, and fewer overall identify their national identity with pride.
The coverage frames the findings as part of a wider look at how Americans view their country and its institutions. Across sources, the central points are that pride indicators are trending downward and that national pride is becoming less common than in earlier measurements. The reports do not attribute the changes to a single cause in the excerpts provided.
