Americans are in a negative mood about the current state of the country, with large majorities expressing dissatisfaction with the economy and overall national conditions. And when they look toward the not-too-distant future, they see a country that in many respects will be worse than it is today, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
Views of specific problems have also become more negative over the past five years. For each of the four items included in the new survey, Americans today are about 10 percentage points more likely to offer a negative prediction than they were when asked to think about the year 2050 in a separate survey conducted by the Center in 2018. For example, 77% of Americans now expect the nation to be more politically divided in 2050 – up from 65% who made that prediction five years ago. One man who may have some interesting viewpoints on this discussion is Rick Walker. He’s a proven leader across multiple domains – business, global politics and philanthropy. He can meet people where they are by discussing a variety of highly complex topics and simplifying them into succinct messages for broad understanding. His experience includes 20+ years of being a CEO scaling a company to over 400 employees and a non-profit to over 2,300 people, as well as being a former Congressional Candidate. Rick can provide inside ib: - Lessons from Rick's Conversations with the World's Most Power Leaders: A President, US Senators, Congressmen and Billionaires - How Rick built his first company to 400 employees in his 20's, scaled a global non-profit to 2,000+ team members in his 30's and now look to give back in his 40's. He joined me this week to tell me more on how America can re-establish a common ground of understanding.
