October 21, 2019: Ninety-one percent (91%) of voters nationwide are proud to be an American. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that total includes 67% who are Very Proud of the affiliation.^[1]

Ninety-three percent (93%) of white voters have such pride. So do 89% of Hispanic voters and 87% of black voters. That pride is felt by 97% of Republicans, 87% of Democrats, and 90% of Independents.

One possible reason for the pride is that people tend to believe the United States does a pretty good job in terms of living up to our nation’s founding ideals.

• Eighty-four percent (84%) think the U.S. currently does a pretty good job when it comes to freedom.
• Seventy percent (70%) think it does at least a decent job when it comes to self-governance.
• Sixty-two percent (62%) say the same about equality.

In all three areas, however, solid majorities expect the nation to do even better in the future.
