WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the most contentious election in recent history, a new poll released today by Allstate and Atlantic Media revealed a surprising level of positivity among Americans. But that optimism is tempered by fear that the election will further divide the nation along lines of class, race and party.
The 27th Heartland Monitor Poll also found that – despite notable divides between demographic groups – Americans almost unanimously (87 percent) agree on one thing: improving the economy through job creation is priority No. 1.
Typical of a post-election high, however, there is optimism that the economy will improve. Sixty percent believe the economy will become more competitive over the next four years, and 36 percent think the nation is headed in the right direction – the highest level since the last presidential election in November 2012, and a jump of 14 points since June.
"This latest Heartland poll underscores the American spirit of resilience and optimism," said Bill Vainisi, Allstate's senior vice president and deputy general counsel, Law and Regulation. "Our country has come together in the face of serious challenges throughout history, from world wars to economic depressions. Profound challenges remain ahead, and we will need to address them. Americans have a genuine desire for government, business leaders and community members to work together to drive positive, lasting change."
Despite this economic optimism, the survey found deep divisions over what the election will mean for the nation's social fabric. The majority of respondents anticipate relations deteriorating between Americans of different social classes (51 percent), as well as races and ethnic groups (52 percent).
"From all of these different angles, the poll converges on the same message. While many Americans, particularly Trump's supporters, believe his victory will move the economy forward, roughly half the nation fears that his ascent will set the country back by deepening the divisions that his march to the White House so starkly revealed," said Ron Brownstein, senior editor of The Atlantic.

Americans' post-election optimism is pronounced when it comes to finances and the economy:
Further analysis shows the country's overall hopeful economic outlook is buoyed by more positive sentiments in some groups than others:
However, Americans largely agree on a number of other topics regardless of age, race, education level or income, including:
Despite these and other challenges facing the country, 66 percent believe the nation will find solutions, as it has in the past. But that optimism is mixed with an urgent call for bipartisan compromise:
Underneath Americans' consensus on the need for compromise lies a nation deeply divided:
Survey Methodology
The 27th installment of the Allstate/Atlantic Media Heartland Monitor Poll, conducted November 16-21, 2016, comprises questions about the 2016 presidential election, as Americans have cast their votes and look towards the next four years under new leadership. How did the divisive campaign shape Americans' perspectives? Was the election a mandate for new policies? How do Americans want the government to function? The survey was conducted among a national sample of 1,000 American adults age 18+, with 500 reached via cell phone and 500 reached via landline. The margin of error for a sample of 1,000 is +/- 3.1 in 95 out of 100 cases.
