Recent surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center, Gallup, and Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll reveal a prevailing sense of pessimism among Americans regarding the future of the United States.
The Pew Research Center’s April 2023 survey found that 68% of Americans expressed at least some pessimism about the country’s future, citing concerns about the economy, political divisions, and societal problems.
This sentiment was further underscored by Gallup’s October 2023 poll, which reported that only 32% of Americans said they were satisfied with the way things are going in the US, marking the lowest satisfaction rating in Gallup’s history.
Additionally, the Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll conducted in July 2023 revealed that 61% of Latinos believed they could achieve the American dream through hard work, compared to 36% of the general population in a WSJ poll from November 2023.
