The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
September 25, 2020: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters nationwide believe that America's best days are still to come. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 22% are more pessimistic, believing that those days have come and gone.[1]
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of white voters believe our best days are still in the future. So do 58% of Hispanic voters and 54% of black voters.[1]
In fact, with just a single exception, a majority of every measured demographic group shares this upbeat assessment. The one exception is independent voters. However, even among these voters, 49% are optimistic while just 24% believe the nation's best days were in the past.[1]
This optimism about the future provides an interesting contrast with other data from the same survey. Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters believe they are better off than four years ago, but just 35% believe the country is better off.[1]
