SHOCKING Poll Reveals What Americans Really Think About Their Country Now

Liberty Check

• National pride among Americans has plummeted to historic lows, with only one-third now reporting they feel “extremely proud” of their country
• The decline marks a troubling trend that reflects years of left-wing attacks on American values, history, and institutions
• This erosion of patriotism coincides with relentless progressive efforts to rewrite history and demonize traditional American identity

A new poll reveals a disturbing reality: American pride is collapsing under the weight of sustained cultural warfare from the left. Data reporter Steve Kornacki broke down the numbers on Sunday, showing that barely a third of Americans now say they feel “extremely proud” of their country — a stark decline from previous years.

The survey, conducted by Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates and Republican pollster Bill McInturff, paints a troubling picture of a nation whose citizens have been taught to question rather than celebrate their heritage. This isn’t happening in a vacuum — it’s the result of years of indoctrination in schools, universities, and mainstream media outlets that have made attacking America fashionable.

The downward trajectory in national pride didn’t start overnight. It’s been a carefully orchestrated campaign by progressive activists who view patriotism as an obstacle to their transformative agenda. From critical race theory in classrooms to the 1619 Project’s revisionist history, Americans — especially younger generations — have been bombarded with messages designed to make them ashamed of their country.

What makes these findings particularly alarming is their timing. At a moment when America faces serious challenges from adversaries abroad and division at home, the erosion of shared national identity weakens our ability to stand united. Countries thrive when their citizens believe in common values and shared purpose — exactly what the left has been systematically dismantling.

The bipartisan nature of the polling team adds credibility to these sobering results. When pollsters from both sides of the aisle arrive at the same conclusion, it’s a wake-up call that can’t be ignored. The question now is whether Americans will allow this trend to continue or push back against the forces working to undermine our national fabric.

Traditional conservatives have long warned about the consequences of abandoning respect for American exceptionalism and the principles that built this nation. These poll numbers suggest those warnings were prescient. A country whose people don’t take pride in it cannot long endure as a beacon of freedom and opportunity.

The solution requires a renewed commitment to teaching honest, balanced history that acknowledges both America’s imperfections and its unprecedented achievements in advancing human liberty and prosperity. It means rejecting the false narrative that patriotism is somehow incompatible with recognizing areas where we can improve.

The Constitution must be defended.
