More Americans are optimistic that Social Security benefits will be available when they retire, according to a Gallup poll.
Among non-retires, 50 percent expect Social Security to pay them a benefit when they retire, compared to 47 percent who don’t think the system will help them.
Gallup reports it’s an increase in non-retirees from readings taken between 2005 and 2015 when majorities of non-retirees polled said they didn’t think they would receive benefits from the system.
The poll found that 53 percent of retirees believe they’ll continue to receive full Social Security benefits — up from 37 percent in 2019 and 49 percent in 2015. Meanwhile, 43 percent of retirees believe their benefits will eventually be cut.
