New Year’s poll: Americans enter 2017 on optimistic note
Majority
believes things
will be better
By EMILY SWANSON
and VERENA DOBNIK
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Emotion-
ally wrenching politics, for-
eign conflicts and shootings at
home took a toll on Americans
in 2016, but they entered 2017
on an optimistic note, accord-
ing to a new poll that found
that a majority believes things
are going to get better for the
country this year.
A look at the key findings
of the Associated Press-Times
Square Alliance poll:
So, how was 2016?
Americans weren’t thrilled
with 2016. Only 18 percent
said things for the country got
better, 33 percent said things
got worse, and 47 percent said
it was unchanged from 2015.
On a personal level, they
were optimistic about 2017.
Fifty-five percent said they
believe things will be bet-
ter for them in 2017. That’s a
12-point improvement from a
year earlier.
Americans
interviewed
about the poll’s results
expressed some of that
optimism.

“People will have more jobs
and they’ll have more money
to spend,” said Bourema Tam-
boura, a Harlem resident who
works for a New York car
service.
“I’m hoping 2017 will be
better,” said Elizabeth Flynn,
62, an elementary school-
teacher from Peabody, Mas-
sachusetts. “You’ve got to be
optimistic, and I’m going to
try.”
Democrats are more likely
than Republicans to say 2016
was worse for the country than
2015. And Republicans are
especially likely to feel that
2017 will be even better for
them personally.
University of Miami pro-
fessor Benjamin Alsup said
he needed only three words to
explain why 2016 felt worse
for him: “Trump, Trump,
Trump!”
Robert Greenstone, a New
York commercial real estate
broker, said the political dis-
course leading up to Republi-
can Donald Trump’s election
as president played havoc with
people’s emotions.
“The amount of disinfor-
mation made people suspect of
everything and everyone, even
their neighbors,” he said.

JANRIC CLASSIC SUDOKU
A majority of Americans,
including 7 in 10 Midwestern-
ers, called November’s World
Series win for the Chicago
Cubs to end their 108-year
drought memorable.
Of nine other pop-cul-
ture items tested, two were
called memorable by about
half of Americans: the death
of Prince, David Bowie and
Leonard Cohen; and the Olym-
pic victories of the U.S. wom-
en’s gymnastics team.
The two least-notable
events for Americans, of the
10 choices in the poll, were
the Angelina Jolie-Brad
Pitt divorce filing and the
“Pokemon Go” app game phe-
nomenon, each described by
most as forgettable.
