Pride Plunge: Only 18% of Yonug Adults Say They Are 'Extremely Proud' to Be American; Poll

Patriotism is taking a plunge according to a new poll from Gallup showing that only 18% of young adults are “extremely proud” to be American; 18 – 34-year-olds just aren’t on board with the stars and stripes.

From The Daily Wire:

The 18-34 crowd isn’t feeling the love, with only a measly 18% declaring they’re “extremely proud” to be American. Meanwhile, in the same poll, the 55 and older club is gloating, being almost three times more likely to feel super duper proud to be American.

OK, let’s do some time travel to 2013. Back then, a whopping 85% of the peeps aged 18-29 were rocking the national pride. But now? Nah, that number has gone way down. It’s like a roller coaster ride, but instead of screaming with excitement, we’re left scratching our heads.

To add another twist to this whole patriotism tale, political party affiliation plays a big role. Surprise, Republicans are leading the pride game, clocking in at a cool 60%. Meanwhile, the Democrats and Independents are lagging behind at 29% and 33% respectively. But hey, let’s not forget that even within these political tribes, the young ones are still less thrilled compared to their seasoned counterparts.

Could the problem be Joe Biden? Is the 80-year-old stumbler and bumbler having trouble getting people fired up to be American? It’s a theory.

“The DailyMail.com/Tipp poll shockingly discovered that a whopping 67% of registered voters believe Biden — who’s become quite the maestro of gaffes and falls — isn’t up to the task mentally or physically to serve a second term,” DW reports.
