7/24 Wall Street Journal/NORC poll reveals most US adults aspire to American Dream, but few believe they can easily achieve it, with younger generations particularly skeptical.

7/24 Wall Street Journal/NORC poll finds most US adults aspire to the American Dream of homeownership, family, and comfortable retirement, but few believe they can easily achieve it. The poll surveyed 1,502 adults and revealed a gap between people's aspirations and expectations, with this trend consistent across gender and party lines. Younger generations are particularly skeptical about realizing their dreams due to barriers to homeownership, high student debt, and interest rates.
