There are probably lots of people who never thought they’d see an African American president in their lifetime, but then President Obama changed that in 2008. But that is far from the only change folks would like to witness in their lifetime.
A new poll of 2,000 Americans asked folks what they’d like to see happen in their lifetime, and the answers were pretty interesting.
- The top things most Americans would like to see is affordable healthcare and access to quality education, something 51% of people are hoping for.
- Other things Americans want to see achieved in their lifetime include:
- Access to public transportation (46%)
- 100% renewable energy (42%)
- No criminals re-offend (36%)
- No firearm-related deaths (30%)
- No government corruption (28%)
- No homelessness (26%)
- No poverty (24%)
- No unemployment (23%)
- No police corruption (22%)
- No suicides (21%)
- No single-use plastics (17%)
Meanwhile, when it comes to the American Dream, the most common one amongst those polled is still owning a home (53%), followed by a car (53%) and having a family (50%).
