Americans more hopeful about 2025 than they were for 2024 — CBS News poll

Heading into 2025 Americans are more hopeful than discouraged — and more outright hopeful than they were heading into 2024. Last year was more mixed.

It does look like this very political past year is affecting that larger outlook going into next year.

Among those who say they're generally hopeful about 2025, their top reason is that Donald Trump will be president.

His upcoming presidency ranks even higher among things making them feel hopeful about 2025 than their outlook for their own personal relationships and finances.

Bad news for "The sky is Falling!" Grinches, but great news for everyone else.


Merry Christmas.

It's all good.
 
Americans have a lot to be hopeful about in 2025.

War threats will go away.
Our economy will get better.
I believe our everyday safety in life will be better.
And I have heard that some other - huge - things might change for the better but I won't post it here or now.

There is finally hope.
 
I have high hopes for 2025 that have nothing to do with Trump. My difficulties in 2024 had nothing to do with Joe Biden. I no longer let politics dictate my annual outlook. 2016 was a pivotal year for me. It's still fun to discuss but it's for amusement only. Different strokes for different folks.

This is the correct outlook. We may each have political preferences, but we link our optimism or happiness to ANY politician or party at our own peril. Good call, BD.

Those in that particular poll seem to have more confidence/faith in Trump for their hopefulness and optimism than they have placed in God himself.

Maybe the poll should be taken again in a few months after Trump is in office.

Having Donald Trump for President doesn't make me feel more hopeful/optimistic. I believe his second term will be even more chaotic and divisive than his first term.
And it worries me that Elon Musk appears to be taking on the role of co-President.
We are in for a rocky ride in these next 4 years.

You could be correct... hopefully this country will never be Trump's for the taking.
This land/governance belongs to all of us. :)

Notably, there are those who simply must squeeze the sweet nectar of misery, despair, and despondence out of all this. So much so, in fact, that they are projecting it forward, well ahead of the next administration. Intentionally sowing for the upcoming harvest.

Some worldviews cannot be reconciled to optimism. They instead need malcontented unrest. Nothing can ever be happy or just…because then statist overlords aren’t needed.

Anyhoo…Happy New Year! It’s great no matter who is elected. I have no need to “resist” when Obama or Biden are president…and no need to “resist” when Trump is. That’s just childish nonsense.

Some folks are determined to be unhappy.

That's too bad for them. There's no need for it to affect the rest of humanity, however.

It's all good.

I am optimistic despite Trump and the band of greedy, crooked ass holes he has surrounded himself with. There are a hell of a lot more men and women of good will than there are of Trump’s ilk I intend on paying more attention to sports, family, music, friends and the rest of the natural beauty of this world and ingnoring the current political cesspool.
 
I consider myself to be very optimistic... :)


Living in denial over how wonderful the country will be b/c Trump is in office again is the choice those participating in the polling made. So be it... The country/world has witnessed a Trump presidency before and it wasn't a good look.

Each of us are responsible for our own happiness. It should never be the responsibility or dependent on/ anyone else to make us happy or optimistic. It would be quite the burden to expect someone trying to fulfill.

There will be rough times ahead in America.How rough? We will see, by summer things could be chaotic and unstable.
 
I am hopeful! I think it is very important for everyone to allow optimism into their lives, I cannot imagine wasting time constantly looking for chaos, and unhappiness.
Spend time with your loved ones and your friends and people who help bring out the positivity in life. It is ok to discuss issues, but it is also important to look for the good in our lives.

They’re all “greedy, crooked…”. Just because you agree with a few of Pelosi’s worldviews, abortion-on-demand, etc…doesn’t mean she wasn’t/isn’t a career insider, financially benefiting from decades of regulatory control and insider visibility.

Regardless, though, my point stands. Whether or not one chooses to overlook the plank in his own eye…no one should tether his optimism and happiness to pols or parties. :)
