National pride is down, with majorities of Republicans and independents and nearly half of Democrats feeling dissatisfied with their country, according to the latest Fox News survey.
The poll, released Thursday, asks registered voters, “are you proud of the country today,” to which just 39% say “yes.” That is down 12 points from June 2017 (the last time the question was asked) and 30 points since June 2011.
While the question has only been asked four times, this marks the first time a majority feels disappointed in the country: 56% aren’t proud, up from 45% in 2017 and 28% in 2011.
Independents and Republicans reversed their positions since 2017, while formerly “not proud” Democrats are now on the fence.
In 2017, Republicans (by a 31-point margin) and independents (by 4 points) were proud. Today, both groups feel disenchanted with the country, GOPers by 24 points and independents by 35.
Democrats were 17 points more likely to be disappointed in the country in 2017, while now they split: 46% are proud and 48% aren’t.
