It depends on who you ask and how clear a sense of their own identity that person has.
I think have articulated my own identity as an American national, with a massive hat tip to John Jay, clear.
There are a lot of people living here that don't even know what a nation actually is, much less what the six elements of being an American are.
I can't answer for them regardless.

How can you identify as an American national when you have proven that America is not a nation?
There is the "America" the nation (comprised of the _actual_ American people), and America the country (the territory) that the American nation occupies, along with several other nations and diasporas.
They are distinct things and concepts.
Because I know who and what I am, where I come from, how and for exaxtly whom America was originally founded for, and the discernment to know the difference between America the nation, the nation-state, the country and its territories.
