NATIONWIDE-- Americans haven't been feeling so patriotic lately.

At least, that's what a recent Gallup poll says.

Only 45 percent of adults identified as being "extremely proud" to be American.

The difference is even starker along party lines. Seventy-six percent of Republicans are extremely proud to be American compared to the 41 percent of Independents, and 22 percent of Democrats.

Gallup’s American pride numbers have been dropping throughout the 2000's, but these are the lowest numbers since Gallup began tracking the statistic.
