American people generally feel anxious, surveys reveal a pessimistic sentiment toward the government and the country's future.

According to the latest poll conducted jointly by PILITICO and Publics First, pessimism and cynicism dominate in the deeply divided American society, with Democrats being more pessimistic than Republicans. Two-thirds of Americans say they at least "possibly believe" that the government often deliberately deceives the public. This distrust crosses party lines — 64% of Trump voters and 70% of Harris voters hold this view. Nearly half of Americans (49%) believe that the country's "golden age" has passed, a proportion higher than those who believe "the best days are still ahead" (41%). This highlights a pervasive sense of anxiety — people feel uneasy about their personal future and the country's prospects.

46% of Americans believe that "the American Dream no longer exists," a figure that exceeds half among those aged 18 to 44.

Nearly six in ten Americans think that polarization in the United States is worse than it was five years ago.

More than half of Americans (52%) believe the U.S. needs "drastic change."
