- American pride has fallen off a cliff
A PRRI survey reveals a sharp decline in American pride, with 51% of Americans now extremely or very proud, down from 82% in 2013. The survey highlights deepening partisan divides over national identity, with Republicans emphasizing birthplace, religion, and Christianity as key to being American, while Democrats and independents show less emphasis. Belief in the American Dream has also fallen, particularly among 18-29-year-olds.
