Poll: Republicans Are Happier Than Democrats
Wed Mar 15 2006 10:14:36 ET

The Pew Research Center recently updated a question about happiness that the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago has been asking since 1972.

In every asking of the question, ROLL CALL reports, Republicans have been happier than Democrats.

Republicans tend to be better off than Democrats, and that is one explanation for the happiness gap. But when the researchers controlled for household income, Republicans at all income levels were happier than Democrats at those same income levels.

As for ideology, conservative Republicans were happier than conservative Democrats, and moderate to liberal Republicans were happier than comparable Democrats.

I AGREE


Everyday I try to make a liberal more miserable than he/she already is. I think on a happy scale of 1 to 10 libs sit at about 3 right now. Got to get'em down to negative figures. Let's start bombing Iran - that should move them down to 2. Hope there are no terrorists attacks here because then start moving up the scale.

So making people miserable makes you happy? Pretty sad. I'm happy to win a photo finish or to see Stacey Kieblers's long legs. I'm happy to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
I'm unhappy when I watch the news. And when reading such a negative outlook on life by some people in here.

You want to get a liberal upset? Just enforce the existing laws.

Now you wouldn't be talking about the laws calling outing a cia agent treason or taking bribes illegal or illegal wiretapping would you ? Those are a few I would like enforced. How about you ?

Typical liberal - when they have no argument they attack.
