The survey by The Economist/YouGov found just weeks before America’s 250th anniversary that 26 percent of Democrats say they are “somewhat ashamed” and 12 percent say they are “very ashamed” to be American.
Nearly twice as many Democrats reported being somewhat or very ashamed to be American compared to overall poll respondents. Out of all U.S. adult citizens polled, 12 percent say they are “somewhat ashamed” and 8 percent say they are “very ashamed.”
Still, some Democrats say they are “very proud” to be American (22 percent) or “somewhat proud” (18 percent). Approximately 22 percent of Democrats say they are “neither proud nor ashamed” — a sentiment shared by 20 percent of overall respondents. Americans overall are still proud to be American, with 42 percent saying they are “very proud” and 18 percent saying they are “somewhat proud.”
