Recent data from AP-NORC and Gallup show a clear division in how Americans feel about national pride and the American flag. These differences are mainly based on political beliefs, age, and race.

AP-NORC 與 Gallup 最近的數據顯示，美國人對於國家自豪感與美國國旗的看法存在明顯分歧。這些差異主要基於政治信仰、年齡與種族。

The use of the American flag as a symbol varies greatly depending on a person's political party and age. For example, about 70% of Republicans and 60% of adults over 60 display the flag, whereas 60% of Democrats and independents do not do this at all. Racial perspectives also differ; while some Black Americans see the flag as a symbol of success, others view it as a reminder of historical unfairness. Consequently, only 22% of Black adults see the flag as a unifying symbol, compared to 55% of white adults.

美國國旗作為象徵的使用方式，視乎個人的政黨與年齡而有很大差異。例如，約 70% 的共和黨人與 60% 的 60 歲以上成年人會懸掛國旗，而 60% 的民主黨人與獨立人士則完全不這麼做。種族視角也有所不同；部分非裔美國人將國旗視為成功的象徵，而其他人則將其視為對歷史不公的提醒。因此，僅有 22% 的非裔成年人將國旗視為統一的象徵，相比之下，白人成年人則為 55%。

At the same time, general national pride has decreased. Gallup reports that only 58% of adults feel 'extremely' or 'very' proud to be American, which is the lowest level since 2001. This decline is most noticeable among people under 55. Furthermore, there is a wide political gap, as 70% of Republicans report high levels of pride, while only 14% of Democrats feel the same.

與此同時，一般的國家自豪感有所下降。Gallup 報告指出，僅 58% 的成年人感到「極其」或「非常」自豪於身為美國人，這是 2001 年以來最低的水平。這種下降在 55 歲以下的人群中最為明顯。此外，政治差距巨大，70% 的共和黨人表示擁有高度自豪感，而民主黨人僅有 14% 感到同樣自豪。

Finally, the reasons for national pride have changed. The military is still a major source of pride for Republicans (about 90%), but this has dropped from 74% to 42% for Democrats since 2017. On the other hand, American popular culture has become a common point of agreement, as both parties show similar levels of pride in cultural achievements. This suggests that Democrats are moving away from institutional patriotism and toward a cultural identity.

最後，產生國家自豪感的原因已經改變。軍隊對共和黨人而言仍是主要的自豪來源（約 90%），但對於民主黨人來說，這一比例已從 2017 年的 74% 下降至 42%。另一方面，美國流行文化已成為一個共同的共識，因為兩黨對文化成就表現出相似的自豪程度。這顯示民主黨人正從制度性的愛國主義轉向一種文化認同。

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the country is split in its sense of patriotism. Traditional symbols are being questioned and are often replaced by cultural identifiers for certain groups.

隨著美國接近 250 週年紀念，國家的愛國心呈現分裂狀態。傳統象徵正受到質疑，且對某些群體而言，經常被文化認同所取代。
