Most Americans believe the nation’s greatest years are in the past, according to a survey released as America’s 250th anniversary approaches.
Some 59 percent of Americans said the country has already seen its best years, while 40 percent believe those years lie ahead, a Pew Research Center survey published Friday found. About 64 percent of Democrats said the nation’s best years were in the past, compared with 53 percent of Republicans, according to the poll.
