Stunningly low percentage of adults in US think America stands above every other nation: poll

As Americans mark the nation's 250th anniversary this year, a survey of adults in the U.S. found that just 25% felt that the country stands above every other nation on the globe, while 44% think that the U.S. is just one of the greatest nations, among some others.

A whopping 30% in the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll thought that there are other nations better than the U.S.

Only 34% believed that the ideal of the American dream, that hard work will enable someone to move ahead in life, remains true.
