Americans are almost evenly divided on whether the best days of the United States are over, according to a survey by CBS News and the YouGov polling institute, BTA reports.
According to the results, 47% of respondents believe that the best period for the country is already in the past. Another 41% believe that it is yet to come, and only 12% believe that the United States is currently in its best period.
The survey also shows that 67% of Americans believe that democracy in the country is in danger.
About a third of the survey participants expect the situation in the United States to worsen over the next 50 years.
Regarding the so-called “American Dream“, only 17% of respondents say they are completely convinced that it is achievable. More than half believe that it is already unattainable, and 57% believe that only a small part of the representatives of the social elite have a real chance of success.
The survey was conducted between June 23 and 26 among 2,150 adult Americans.
