Just half (50%) of American Adults believe that someone who works hard and meets their responsibilities generally gets ahead in the United States today. But slightly more think those who work like that make more money.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 35% do not believe that those who work hard and meet their responsibilities get ahead. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 American Adults was conducted on February 13-14, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
