An Independence Day survey published this morning (Thursday) in Maariv shows that the majority of the Israeli public feels deep national pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the survey conducted by the Lazar Research Institute, 83% of Israelis are proud to live in the country - of which 56% are very proud and 27% are quite proud. On the other hand, 15% do not feel proud, and 2% refrained from answering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among Jews, the highest levels of national pride were recorded among religious (96%) and traditional (95%). The rate of national pride among secular and ultra-Orthodox was 83% in both groups. However, secular and ultra-Orthodox also led in the rate of lack of pride \u2013 17% and 13% respectively \u2013 compared to only 4% among traditional and 2% among religious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Likewise, 41% of the ultra-Orthodox and 21% of the religious answered "don't know" or refused to answer, compared to 11% of the traditional and zero percent among the secular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The breakdown of the data by political affiliation shows disparities: Among coalition voters, 94% expressed national pride, compared to only 81% among opposition voters. The lack of pride is more pronounced among opposition voters (19%) compared to coalition voters (5%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared to the 2023 survey, a slight increase can be identified in the percentage of people who are proud of being Israeli \u2013 from 81% to 83%. The increase in the "very proud" category is particularly notable, which jumped from 49% to 56%, while the percentage of "fairly proud" decreased from 32% to 27%.
