There's an observable generational divide in how Americans view their prospects versus their parents, Enten said. In 2000, 72 percent said life opportunities were better, versus just 5 percent who said worse. A decade ago, "better" still led, 44 percent to 25 percent, but today that has flipped – 45 percent now say opportunities are worse, versus just 33 percent who say better, a nearly 40-point drop in optimism and a 40-point rise in pessimism since the turn of the century.
