American dreams can sometimes be just a pipe dream as many new articles showcase the bad side of dreaming. In one article, "Poll: Whites and Republicans Rank as Angriest Americans" by Rafferty, White Republican Americans have shown the most anger at the current state of America. Polls recently released information showing whites in America are the angriest because 54% of the white American population have grown more outraged in the last few years. Latinos come in second 43% and African-Americans third at 33%. Another poll revealed 73% of whites feel anger at least once each day in comparison to the 66% of Latinos and the 56% of American blacks.

The topics they feel the angriest of are consumer fraud and congressional dysfunction. Overall, there is a growing sentiment that the American dream is no longer possible. "52% of the country said the idea of the "American dream" no longer holds true. The group most pessimistic about the thought that anyone in the country can work hard to get ahead is Americans between 45 and 64 who are thinking about retirement." (Rafferty) While things look grim for Americans, things may get worse or better in the upcoming presidential elections.
