A new survey reveals that more than two-thirds of Americans feel their country is in decline, reflecting growing concerns about the nation’s future. The survey highlights widespread pessimism about economic stability, social unity, and political leadership among U.S. citizens. Many respondents cited issues such as inflation, political division, and weakening global influence as key factors contributing to this perception. This sentiment spans across various demographics and political affiliations, indicating a broad national unease.
