I have no data to back this up, just an opinion, but the 1980’s is my gut guess. The U.S. had very high, if not the highest marks in the world in education and healthcare. People were generally very happy/satisfied with the country. Maybe the 90’s as well. The Soviet Union had collapsed and things were still going well.
I’m sure there are reasons this may not be the greatest answer, but I feel like the 80’s & 90’s are the best answer. Once we hit the 2000’s, things were turning down and 9/11 made it worse. People have been rapidly losing purchasing power. Education and healthcare are both declining. Polarization is steadily increasing.
