Democrats' pride in being American has 'fallen through the floor,' CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten has noted.
Enten pointed to new survey data from Gallup which showed that just 36% of Democrats are now 'extremely' or 'very' proud to be American. It's down from 80% in 2015, when former President Barack Obama was in office, he said.
'That number has plummeted, plummeted to just 36% now in 2025, a low this century. It's fallen by more than half since 2015, as Donald Trump has become, of course, president once again this year,' said Enten.
The analyst pinpointed Gen Z voters, born since 1997, as being key to the result. Some 32% have 'little' or 'no pride' in being American, he said.
'I just never thought I'd see these numbers based upon where we were a decade ago. But that's exactly where we are,' Enten said.
Republicans, meanwhile, said Enten, are still 'extremely' or 'very' proud to be American. Their figure has risen, only slightly, from 90% in 2015 when Obama was in office to 92% now.
'Republicans still are extremely or very proud to be an American,' Enten said. 'Democrats, on the other hand, have seen their numbers fall through the floor, led of course by the youngest generation, Generation Z.'
