National Pride Among Americans Hits Near Record Low!

ST. PAUL, MN – In a surprising twist that underscores a significant shift in the American psyche, a new Gallup poll has revealed that national pride is teetering near an all-time low. Once a source of unwavering strength, extreme pride in being American has been steadily declining, painting a vivid picture of a nation grappling with its identity.
