Depending on the algorithm: yes. I'm not saying all algorihms that are widely used and well known are extremely unlikely to be broken.
I would happily bet $10,000 that AES will not be broken in the next ten years. I'd make the same bet for several hash functions.
And as a corollary to this point: I think it's incredibly foolish to try and combat the threat of an encryption algorithm being broken by double encrypting a plaintext, including with that algorithm.
