40 percent of Americans are pessimistic about the future of the United States

40 percent of Americans are pessimistic about the future of the United States

More than 40% of Americans are pessimistic about the future of the United States, compared with only 15% in 1976, according to an Emerson College Polling survey.
⠀

“Voters were asked if they were generally optimistic, pessimistic or uncertain about the future of the country: 42% are optimistic, 41% are, and 18% are not sure about the future,” the organization’s website says.

⠀

In addition, Emerson College Polling compared the results of a similar survey in 1976, in which respondents were asked a similar question. The analysis showed that 50 years later, the level of pessimism increased by 26 percentage points (from 15% to 41%), while the level of optimism remained practically unchanged (in 1976, the figure was 43%).

⠀

The survey was conducted on June 7-8 among 1,2 thousand likely voters in the United States. The margin of error is 2.8 percentage points.
