To show that I believe in Fair and Balanced surveys, I want to share this with all my Far Right fonts friends on the Forum:
Still believe in the American dream?
According to JWT, a major New York advertising firm, it's much harder to achieve today, but those who are better off tend to believe in it more than poorer Americans do.
And here's something to make John McCain happy: Republicans are more likely to believe than Democrats are.
Those were some of the results in a survey taken of 2,112 adults from Sept. 11-19 by the firm, formerly known as J. Walter Thompson.
"American Dream in the Balance" surveyed what the American dream currently means and how the concept has changed or remained the same over the decades.
Some of the findings:
• Fewer than two-thirds of Americans with a household income below $40,000 believed in the American dream, while three-quarters of those earning between $40,000 to $70,000 believed, and 82 percent of those making more than $70,000 believed.
• Republicans by a 13 percentage point difference believe more in the American dream (84 percent to 71 percent) than Democrats. Those not affiliated with either party are least likely (66 percent) to believe in the dream.
• Americans think their country is more concerned with helping immigrants and other countries achieve their version of the American dream than with helping its own citizens.
• More than six in 10 see health-care costs as a barrier to the American dream.
• Every age group in the survey still believes the United States is the land of opportunity.
Remember "CHANGE" Vote for you candidate on Novemeber 5th!!!!!
