I was just reading this polling results from Gallup on how happy Americans are. Apparently we’re a very happy lot. It said 8 in 10 are satisified with their life and a clear majority were very satisfied. The trend line actually has been going up over the last several year.
The survey has some interesting breakdowns by various groups. But just about every group is happy. In the survey they talk about both satisfaction and happiness. So when you turn on the news or read a rant on a blog, keep in mind that those reports are the exception. I guess maybe the world isn’t going to hell in a handbasket.
