Americans increasingly less proud of their country: Poll – By Jenny Goldsberry (Washington Examiner) / July 2, 2022
More than half of people say they are dissatisfied with their country, a newly released poll shows.
The survey, conducted by Fox News, marks a significant change from a 2017 poll by the same team, where 51% reported they were proud in 2017, and 69% were proud in 2011. Forty-eight percent of Democratic respondents said they lacked pride in their country, compared to 60% of Republican respondents and 64% of independent respondents.
Just five years ago, 69% of Republican respondents and 54% of independent respondents said they were proud of the United States.
Black poll respondents, meanwhile, were slightly prouder, with their lack of pride decreasing from a 28-percentage-point margin in 2017 to a 9-point margin in 2022. Hispanic respondents moved in the opposite direction, according to the survey, with respondents moving from being proud of the U.S. by 18 points in 2017 to not proud by 24 points in 2022.
