The American Dream Cracks: Record Pessimism in the U.S.

In the summer of 2026, several polls revealed record pessimism in the United States. Only 33% of Americans feel 'extremely proud' of their country — a 25-year low (Gallup). 70% no longer consider the U.S. the greatest country on Earth (Reuters). 64% believe democracy is in danger, and 70% see the 'American Dream' as outdated. Young people are increasingly thinking about emigration; the leadership is seen as gerontocratic.
