Even as the U.S. birth rate has fallen to a new low of 1.6 births per woman, Americans still say the ideal family includes an average of 2.7 children.
Whether Americans see the American Dream as more about stability or opportunity is shaped by income, education and lived experiences.
Just 26% of Americans think it is a good time to buy a house, and a new low of 30% of non-homeowners think they will buy a home in the next five years.
Real estate remains Americans' top choice for the best long-term investment, as confidence in stocks dips and faith in gold rises.
