As America nears its 250th, roughly half thinks the American Dream isn’t true anymore
A new AP-NORC poll reveals declining belief in U.S. exceptionalism and democracy's importance, with 44% of Americans under 30 believing other countries are better. Only 25% view the U.S. as the greatest country, while 30% say better countries exist, up from 19% in 2016. Young adults and older generations show stark divides over democracy's role in American identity.
