The United States has a reputation for being a hopeful nation, and a new survey indicates this optimistic outlook is still as American as apple pie.
The results revealed a whopping 82% of Americans are currently hopeful about their own futures. An even larger portion, 85 percent, are hopeful about the future of their family.
Three in four respondents also felt hopeful about the future of their local community, according to the Human Flourishing Lab, a program from the Archbridge Institute.
