Summary
17% of American adults told Gallup they were "very proud" to be American in 2025, and Rep. Harriet Hageman used the record-low reading to urge a renewed defense of U.S. culture and identity.
36% of Democrats said they were very proud of the country, down from 62% a year earlier, while Republicans were at 92% and independents at 53%, a seven-point drop.
Hageman blamed the decline on what she called Democratic efforts to recast U.S. history through slavery and the 1619 narrative, arguing that America has a shared culture worth preserving.
America's 250th Independence Day is central to her proposed remedy, with Hageman saying the anniversary can help restore patriotism by refocusing attention on the nation's founding and history.
