This chart is from the Gallup Poll. The poll was done between December 4th and 11th of a random national sample of 1,049 adults, with a 4 point margin of error. The predictions for 2018 contained in the poll were not good. About 79% said it would be a troubled year, full of international discord -- only 19% said it would be a peaceful year. Poll respondents were pretty equally split on whether it would be an economically prosperous year or not, and whether American power will increase or decline.
