4th of July Celebrations

June 30, 2024

As the 4th of July is quickly approaching, U.S. residents are preparing to gather and celebrate. From June 22 to June 24, 2024, we surveyed Americans to find out their opinions on their country and the 4th of July celebrations.

  • About three-quarters of respondents (78%) feel proud to be American. This proportion is higher among Americans aged 55 years or older (87%) and republican voters (89%).
  • More than two out of three Americans (68%) will celebrate the 4th of July this year. This proportion is higher among Americans aged 18 to 34 years old (74%) and republican voters (78%).
  • Around seven out of ten Americans (73%) feel like America’s history is something to celebrate, while 17% think it is something to be ashamed of.
  • Among the elements that make respondents proud to be Americans, freedom and equality for everyone (45%), natural beauty and landscape (35%), and fellow Americans (26%) are at the top of the list. On the other hand, racial injustice (37%), the current government (33%), and economic inequalities and poverty (32%) are at the top of the list of reasons why respondents are not proud of being Americans.
  • Around one-third of Americans (35%) self-identify as feeling less proud to be American compared to five years ago, while 19% are prouder, and 45% say their level of pride did not change compared to five years ago.

This web survey about the 4th of July was conducted from June 22 to June 24, 2024, with 1,003 U.S. residents, aged 18 or older. A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey.

For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size yields a margin of error no greater than ±3.1%, (19 times out of 20) for the American sample.
