Let’s look at what another organization, which conducted its own analysis on the state of the American dream, found. A group called the Archbridge Institute, which self-identifies as “nonpartisan,” had its own findings in 2026, and from the outset, its definition of the American dream was more precise and reflective of how conservatives and most Americans would define it.
On its website, the organization says, “Long before the term (American dream) was coined, generations of settlers and immigrants came to America seeking greater opportunity, freedom, and the chance to build better lives in pursuit of human flourishing.
At its core, this concept involves pursuing something meaningful in your life, setting goals, and taking action to pursue them. It is a dream of freedom and purpose. It is a dream that has been resilient throughout the challenging history of our country—through a war for independence, a civil war, civil rights movements, world wars, and pushing the geographical frontier, the innovation frontier, and the cultural frontier.”
The Institute rightly points out, “The cultural fabric of the United States is built on this American Dream.”
In its research, the Institute found that 67% of survey respondents felt they had achieved or were pursuing the American dream. Sixty-four percent of those surveyed believe that the American dream can unite Americans. An impressive 71% of those surveyed felt they had as many or more opportunities than their parents. An even more impressive 73% said they were proud to be American.
