Using historical and contemporary survey data, Chapter Three investigates variations in patriotic sentiment across demographic groups, ideological subgroups, and party affiliations in the United States. Findings show that most Americans report high levels of patriotism, but a consistent minority (around 25%) exhibits dislike, hate, or indifference toward the country. The chapter highlights how expressions of patriotism—or its absence—vary by age, race, ideology, and partisanship. These data confirm that patriotism is not uniformly distributed and that some segments of the population reject or withhold patriotic feelings entirely, raising important questions for democratic cohesion.
