A recent poll conducted by Gallup reveals that there has been a notable decline in the number of U.S. adults who proudly identify as 'extremely proud' to be American. According to the poll, only 39% of adults expressed 'extreme' pride in the United States of America, which is just slightly higher than the record-low number observed in 2022. Comparatively, the figure was four points higher in 2021 and a staggering 16 points higher when Gallup first introduced the question in 2001, notably peaking between 65% and 70% in the years that followed the tragic 9/11 attacks.

Meanwhile, a recent survey conducted by Fox News highlights that 48% of Americans believe that the country's best days are now a thing of the past, while only 43% remain optimistic about the future. The prevailing pessimism concerning the nation's outlook has seen a significant increase since 2012 when just 26% of Americans believed that the best days were behind them. Age, in addition to political affiliation, appears to play a substantial role in shaping Americans' national pride. For instance, 50% of U.S. adults aged 55 and older express extreme pride in being American, while the same sentiment is shared by 40% of those aged 35 to 54 and a meager 18% of individuals aged 18 to 34.

Furthermore, a survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal/NORC illuminates a significant decline in the importance attributed to patriotism among Americans. Since 1998, the proportion of Americans who consider patriotism to be 'very important' has plummeted from 70% to a mere 38%. Delving deeper into the subject, the 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts engaged in a discussion regarding these polls and their interpretation of why patriotism seems to have lost some of its previous prominence.
