This is not a good trend because politics is also correlated with depression, anger, and stress.


This could be why suicide rates are skyrocketing and usage of anti-depressants is so ubiquitous.

The happiest people I know are the ones who never watch news or care about Washington

The goal of politics and news media is to divide and demoralize us all. And I agree with you OP the happiest people in our country are the people that avoid politics and news media all together.

DO NOT AGREE, there are times when the existence of our Country with its Constitution and The Republic is and has been under attack from within and without.

Ostrich head in the sand is poor choice, if you choose that, to me you are not an American in the true sense of the word but rather a citizen by virtue of birth and not commitment

The power of 24hr news channels that bring politics into your home.

This is laughable.

90% say it is "important" but a third of those cannot be bothered to vote?

classic people saying shite they think the pollster wants to here

Politics are like sports to me. I really don’t care who wins but it’s fun to root for the home team. People who say politics are an important part of their daily lives should be killing them selves imo.

Only republicans would worry that more people care about what they vote for
