National faith in the foundational concept of the 'American dream' seems to be faltering, with the majority of voters questioning its attainability, according to recent findings. Critical views on the current economic landscape under President Biden's incumbency appear to be impacting public optimism.

The Wall Street Journal/NORC survey revealed a significant decrease in belief that hard work would lead to success in America; only 36% of participants felt this to be true, down markedly from 53% in 2012 and 48% in 2016 when polled by a different entity.

These figures shed light upon the growing economic vulnerability felt by a wide range of Americans, disregarding political party lines.

Doubts are intensifying about the robustness of the path towards improved living standards, despite positive indications of economic and societal advancement, the Journal says. Many feel as though ‘the deck is stacked against them,’ fostering a sense of disillusionment for half of the queried participants with the economic and political system.

A concerningly large segment of voters consider their nation’s state to have deteriorated in comparison to conditions 50 years ago, with 50% deeming life to be worse. A significantly smaller proportion, 30%, believe the country’s circumstances have improved.
