 But the poll suggests most are not proud of our country and we don't trust our own institutions. The latest Fox News poll finds nearly seven out of 10 Americans think the U.S. is the best country to live in. That's up five points from last summer. But just over half those polls said they are not proud of the country. Fifty five percent of Democrats are. In 2017, 64 percent of Republicans were proud. Back in 2011, pride was much higher for everyone, with two thirds of GOP voters saying they were proud, even though a Democrat was president.
