A recent survey by NPR, PBS News, and Marist examines how Americans feel about national pride, whether the country is following its founding principles, and the expected stability of the future.

NPR、PBS News 與 Marist 最近的一項調查研究了美國人對國家自豪感的看法、國家是否遵循其建國原則，以及對未來穩定性的預期。

The data shows a clear difference in national pride based on political party. While most people feel proud of their country, this feeling is strongest among Republicans (93%) and weakest among Democrats (45%). Furthermore, there is a strong belief that the U.S. has moved away from its original founding principles. About 83% of participants believe the nation has drifted from these ideals, which is a significant increase since 1976. Interestingly, younger people in Gen Z (21%) are more likely to believe the nation still represents these ideals than Baby Boomers (13%).

數據顯示，國家自豪感在不同政黨之間有明顯差異。雖然大多數人都對自己的國家感到自豪，但這種感覺在共和黨員（93%）之中最強，而民主黨員（45%）則最弱。此外，許多人強烈認為美國已經偏離了最初的建國原則。約 83% 的參與者認為國家已背離這些理想，這與 1976 年相比有顯著增加。有趣的是，Z 世代的年輕人（21%）比嬰兒潮世代（13%）更傾向於認為國家仍然代表這些理想。

At the same time, many Americans are worried about the stability of their democratic institutions. A total of 82% of respondents say there is a serious threat to democracy, which is a slight increase from February. Although the number of people who support using violence to achieve political change has dropped from 25% in October to 12%, some still believe it could be effective. Consequently, while many people are hopeful about the country's general direction, 59% are skeptical that future generations will experience the same level of prosperity.

與此同時，許多美國人擔心其民主制度的穩定性。總共有 82% 的受訪者表示民主面臨嚴重威脅，較二月份略有增加。儘管支持使用暴力以實現政治變革的人數從十月的 25% 下降至 12%，但仍有人認為這可能是有效的。因此，雖然許多人對國家的整體方向抱有希望，但 59% 的人懷疑後代是否能體驗到同樣程度的繁榮。

In summary, the United States is currently experiencing a contradiction: people feel a general sense of national pride, yet they also feel deep distrust toward institutions and are divided by political lines.

總結來說，美國目前正處於一種矛盾之中：人們雖然感受到一般的國家自豪感，但同時對制度深感不信任，且被政黨界線所分化。
