CNS News points out the USA Today/Gallup poll in which people were asked to describe themselves as extremely patriotic, very patriotic, somewhat patriotic, or not especially patriotic and then compared those results to the same question asked in 2005.
In the past five years, according to Gallup, the percentage of liberals, Democrats and moderates describing themselves as “extremely patriotic” has declined. By contrast, the percentage of Republicans, Independents, conservatives, men, women and people 18 years or older, who describe themselves as “extremely patriotic” has increased.
CNS also points out "The USA Today news story on this poll question did not report any data at all about the patriotism of liberals as discovered by the survey."
I would be curious to see a pollster ask what respondents consider patriotism to be.
