Nearly half of Americans believe the next generation will be worse off than the current one, according to a new poll.

Just 52 percent think America’s best days are still ahead of it, while 48 percent said they think the best days of our nation are gone, the WND poll by Wenzel Strategies found.

“This is likely a function of the on-going economic malaise in the country and a reflection of the fact that there is precious little leadership in Washington to solve nagging problems in the nation,” said pollster Fritz Wenzel.

The telephone survey was conducted from April 25-29 and has a margin of error of 3.03 percentage points.

The poll found that just 51 percent of Americans believe their own life is better than their parents.

“The survey makes it clear the Americans believe we have hit the pinnacle during their lifetime, and that the lives the next generation will lead will be worse. While 51 percent said they believe their life is better than that of their parents, just 30 percent said they think the lives of the next generation will be better,” Wenzel said.
