Finally, there has been an alarming plunge in the number of Democrats who say they are proud to be American. Back in 2015, when Barack Obama was president, 80% of Democrats said they were extremely or very proud to be American, according to Gallup. Today, with Trump in the White House, the number is less than half of that, 36%. “Democrats, the percentage who say they’re proud to be an American has fallen through the floor,” CNN data analyst Harry Enten noted.
Enten also observed that the Democratic numbers are entirely different from the Republican numbers. In 2015, with Obama, 90% of Republicans said they were extremely or very proud to be American. Today, with Trump, the number is 92%, virtually unchanged.
