As America gears up for the Fourth of July celebrations, national pride is taking center stage. But exactly how much pride swells people’s hearts appears to be linked to their political beliefs and fortunes—especially if they are Democrats.

In the latest Gallup poll, just one in five who identify as Democrats are willing now to declare themselves “extremely” proud of their country. Last year that figure (22 percent) stood at 32 percent.
