National Pride at a Crossroads | Virginia Beach News

National pride in America is at a historic low, with just 33% of adults saying they’re extremely proud to be American — down from 41% last year and the lowest Gallup has ever recorded. This decline, which has been falling since 2002, reflects growing disillusionment, especially among young voters who distrust government and feel disconnected from the political system. As the U.S. nears its 250th birthday, there’s a renewed push for civics education to reconnect citizens with the nation’s founding ideals and foster unity. Independence Day becomes more than celebration — it’s a call to remember our shared promise and rebuild the bonds that hold us together.
