The most recent National Journal poll asked respondents about the American dream, what it takes to achieve their goals, and whether or not they felt a significant amount of control over their ability to be successful.

Overwhelmingly, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream — and what it takes to achieve it — looks quite different than it did in the late 20th century.

结果显示，绝大多数人认为，当今人们对美国梦的定义以及实现美国梦的途径都与二十世纪晚期人们的看法相去甚远。
