The 52 percent majority of the public is "extremely proud" to be American, according to a Gallup survey. This figure is much lower than the inflated 70 percent of 2003 (a surge that followed the 9/11 attacks) but not far below the 55 percent of January 2001 (pre 9/11).
Despite the overall stability in patriotic pride between 2001 and 2016, patriotism among 18-to-29-year-olds plunged during those years, falling 17 percentage points...
