By a 2-to-1 margin (57% to 28%) voters say America is still the land of opportunity. Nearly 9 in 10 Republicans (87%) hold this view, while Democrats are more pessemistic. Half of Democrats (49%) say that America is not the land of opportunity, and another 20% are not sure. Among more progressive Democrats, voters who prefer policies like Alexandria Ocassio-Cortez (AOC), say America is not the land of opportunity by a large margin. However, Traditional Democratic voters are more evenly devided, with 35% saying America is still the land of opportunity and 40% disagreeing.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of voters say America is generally unfair and discriminatory, while 44% consider it generally fair and decent. In 2024, just 33% of voters said America was generally unfair and discriminatory. However, as soon as President Trump took office in 2025 that number jumped to 49% and has stayed in that vacinity ever since, with the exception of a single survey in April of this year.

On this issue, the parties are mirror images. Seven in 10 Republicans (71%) say America is generally fair and decent, while 7 in 10 Democrats (72%) label it unfair and discriminatory.

Opinion is similarly divided on if America is a land of liberty and justice for all. Forty-five percent (45%) say it is, and 45% say it is not. Again, 7 in 10 Republicans say it is, while 7 in 10 Democrats disagree. The current numbers are similar to 2021 under Joe Biden, when 42% said America was a land of liberty and justice for all, while 43% disagreed.

When Donald Trump was first elected, voters said America was a land of liberty and justice for all by a margin of 48% to 40%.
