Red, white and blue is becoming red vs. blue.
As Americans celebrate Independence Day, patriotism itself is becoming a source of division, according to a new poll shared exclusively with The Post.
The survey conducted by New Jersey-based GOP firm National Research Inc. found that 91% of self-identified Republicans call themselves patriots, compared to just 50% of Democrats.
The poll showed a near-identical schism among 2024 voters, with 90% of those who backed President Trump identifying as patriots compared to 55% of former Vice President Kamala Harris supporters.
Among self-described conservatives, 87% deemed themselves a patriot, compared to 51% of liberals, per the poll.
National Research founder Adam Geller, a Republican pollster and strategist whose resume includes work for Trump’s 2016 campaign, told The Post that while the results may stem in part from “a little leftover saltiness” from the election, “we need to have a country where even if you don’t love the president, you’re still proud to be an American — you still hold those values.”
Geller’s findings mirror other polls about national sentiment.
According to a recent Gallup poll, just 36% of Democrats called themselves “extremely” or “very” proud to be an American, plummeting from 62% in 2024 and the lowest level among the demographic this century.
Just over half (53%) of independents said they were extremely or very proud to be American, down seven percentage points from last year.
Republican pride in the US spiked by seven percentage points to 92%.
Comment:
America may not be perfect, but it doesn't deserve the daily trashing by the Radical Left.
The Left craves victimhood because it empowers them.
They crave victimhood so much that they invent hoax hate crimes.
They dwell on the negative instead of making use of the vast opportunities that are available to them.
