More than three out of four Americans believe the nation’s founders would be disappointed with the current state of the US as it approaches its 250th anniversary, according to a Gallup poll released on Wednesday.
The poll found that 77 percent of respondents believe the signatories of the Declaration of Independence would be disappointed with how the nation has developed, while 19 percent said they would be satisfied.
Gallup said the share holding a negative view has risen from 71 percent in 2013 and 42 percent in 2001.
