PRINCETON, N.J. (UPI) — U.S. residents are divided about whether the country’s best years are ahead or already passed, results of a Gallup poll indicated.
How optimistic the view of the future could be — 47 percent said the best years lie ahead and 50 percent said they were behind — was sharply divided along political lines, with Republicans more pessimistic about the future than Democrats, the USA Today-Gallup poll released Tuesday indicated.
Sixty five percent of respondents said they thought 2013 will be a year of economic difficulty, not prosperity, Gallup said.
By a 53 percent to 42 percent margin, respondents also indicated they thought 2013 will be a year of full or increasing employment instead of rising unemployment, results showed.
Americans, by a 57 percent to 42 percent margin, said they believe this year will be one in which prices will rise at a reasonable rate rather than at a high rate, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said.
Eighty-five percent of respondents said there will be a Federal government budget deficit in 2013.
On global issues a majority, 75 percent, said this year will be a troubled with much international discord rather than an internationally peaceful year, Gallup said.
Fifty-seven percent of those asked said they believe U.S. power will decline rather than increase in 2013, results indicated.
Also, about two-thirds of respondents said they believe 2013 will see rising crime rates.
Results are based on nationwide interviews with 1,025 adults conducted Dec. 14-17. The margin of error is 4 percentage points.
