Republicans Only Americans Still ‘Extremely Proud’ To Be American

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Tuesday that Republicans are still proud of being American, while Democrats’ pride is at an all-time low.

Democrats’ pride in their American identity dropped from 83% in 2013 to 31% in late 2025, Enten said while citing a PPRI survey. A majority of Republicans, 80%, were still “extremely or very proud” to be American as of late 2025, a 12-point drop from 2013.

“Just 31% of Democrats say they are extremely, are very proud to be an American,” Enten said. “That is the lowest, the lowest number on record. When you combine both youth and being a Democrat, that number falls into the 20s,falls into the 20 young Democrats, Generation Z Democrats, less than 30% of them are either extremely or very proud to be an American. So what we’re seeing here is both age, as well as partisanship playing a major role in the fact that pride and the proudness tobe an American either extremely or very proud is at record lows.” 

Enten then noted that Republicans’ pride in the U.S. had remained steady from the time of former President Barack Obama until the present day.  The numbers show that more Republicans were proud to be American during Obama’s second term than Democrats.
