The majority of American adults say that the country’s best days are ahead, according to a recent survey conducted by Gallup.
The survey shows that 55 percent—up from 47 percent in 2012—share this optimistic view of the country’s future. The findings come in conjunction with a numerical high in satisfaction with the direction of the United States, with 38 percent of Americans saying they are “satisfied with the way things are going in the country.” This represents a significant increase on the 2012 satisfaction rate of 23 percent.
