Americans are astonishingly optimistic, according to a new
poll reported by Jennifer Harper.
82 percent of Americans ages 18 to 24 feel optimistic about their futures; 82 percent of those ages 25 to 44 do so as well; and 75 percent of those ages 45 to 64 and 64 percent of those 65 or older agree.
The experts are worried. What would happen if Americans stopped being optimistic? “`We believe this personal optimism is sort of a last barricade,’ [the expert] said, and could prove `shaky.’”
