Life satisfaction poll: R vs. D
« on: February 06, 2020, 05:45:37 PM »

Identifying as a republican is close to the greatest predictor of being the most satisfied with life.
Identifying as a Democrat is close to the greatest predictor of being the least satisfied with life.
Cause, effect, or misleading?

I bet that has more to do with how religious you are than political affiliation.

I don't.
Look at the 8 year old poll you posted. 3.9% between very religious and non-religious. Then look at the current poll with 16% difference based on income. Income is the driving force.

Also the 8 year old poll had 11% more religious respondents than non-religious respondents.

Anytime you want to bet against a major poll let me know. You will be like 99% of members here. Shoot your mouth off but won't back it up.  :)

One could make the case that the four groups with the least life satisfaction in the poll- non-whites, unmarried, woman, and very low income- tend to skew Democrat. This may account for the D vs R spread; if this is the case, correlating unhappiness with voting Democrat may be misleading....

Of course it is misleading or just vote R and you will be happier.  :)

Was never one to buy any poll. But love your quick and angry response. Don’t forget your stress-reducing pill...Not healthy for your heart...

Do you have self issues? I have no stress at all. Unlike most of you when you get old I have all my hair from a stress free life.  :P
I will take your response that you are just another mouth flapper.  :)

Are we looking at the same poll where men are near the top and women near the bottom? Or where income is the number one factor.?
