25 charts that show what the nation expects over the next 10 years

“America Looks to 2024: The Atlantic/Aspen Institute Survey marks the 10th anniversary of the Aspen Ideas Festival by asking about impressions of the nation in 2024. The poll finds Americans in a pessimistic mood, worried that U.S. is on the wrong track and unsure about the future. Respondents expect a nation more divided by class and race. They also expect America’s standing in the world to diminish, as China and Russia gain in stature. But the results aren’t uniform: The poll finds that white Americans have a bleaker view of the future than their black and Latino counterparts, who are more likely to see opportunity today and ahead. Nor is the pessimism absolute. Even as many Americans seem to despair for the nation’s future, they’re optimistic about their own health, wealth, and well-being over the next decade.”
