A new Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds Americans’ pride in their country’s history and in how its democracy works has declined over the past decade. The reporting, drawn from the poll results, indicates that fewer people now say they feel proud to be American overall, alongside lower levels of pride tied specifically to national history and democratic institutions. The outlets describe the shift as noticeable across the ten-year period covered by the research, suggesting a broader change in public attitudes rather than a short-term fluctuation. The poll’s findings also point to a reduction in the proportion of respondents who express strong positive views of the United States’ historical legacy and democratic functioning. While the articles emphasize the direction and magnitude of the change, they do not present evidence in the provided text about the reasons behind the decline. The results are presented as survey-based indicators of how Americans’ views have moved from earlier levels of pride toward more muted or critical sentiment.
