What makes citizens proud of their country (Pew Research)

quote:

---

Americans are particularly proud of the country’s “freedoms and liberties” (22%); the U.S. is one of a few countries surveyed in which this is the case. Interestingly, it is the only country surveyed in which there are significant partisan differences in pride in the country’s freedoms (32% of Republicans mention it, compared with 15% of Democrats).

When the topic of national pride comes up, the U.S. is one of several countries where something negative is a common response (20%). Once again, this is partisan (8% of Republicans vs. 32% of Democrats), though that is also the case in most other surveyed countries.

Other factors mentioned regularly include the American people (13%) and the economy (11%), with some emphasizing their pride in “the American dream” and having “plenty of opportunities.”
