Is the American Dream attainable? New survey shows how the nation feels about the idea

A Pew Research survey reveals that 53% of Americans believe the American dream is still possible, while 41% think it was once possible but isn't anymore, and 6% never believed in it. Older Americans are more optimistic, whereas younger ones are more apathetic. Lower-income families are more likely to view the dream as unattainable, while higher-income individuals remain hopeful. The survey shows minimal differences across ethnicities and political affiliations.
