March 22, 2021: Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters believe America is still the land of opportunity. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 18% disagree and 17% are not sure.[1]

There is a significant gender gap on this question. Seventy-four percent (74%) of men see the nation as a land of opportunity. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of women share that view.[1]

There is, however, no significant difference across racial and ethnic lines. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Hispanic voters believe the land of opportunity label still applies. So do 65% of white voters and 62% of Black voters.[1]

Seventy percent (70%) of private-sector workers say the U.S. is still a land of opportunity. So do 58% of government employees.[1]
