Republicans Report Much Better Mental Health Than Others
Republicans Report Much Better Mental Health Than Others
Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls.
Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education.
The differences are quite significant, as can be seen. While Democrats are slightly less likely to report excellent mental health than are independents, the big distinctions in these data are the differences between Republicans and everyone else.
One could be quick to assume that these differences are based on the underlying demographic and socioeconomic patterns related to party identification in America today. A recent Gallup report (see "Strong Relationship Between Income and Mental Health" in Related Items) reviewed these mental health data more generally, and found that men, those with higher incomes, those with higher education levels, and whites are more likely than others to report excellent mental health. Some of these patterns describe characteristics of Republicans, of course.
Wild Thing's comment........
Republicans are happy. Democrats wallow in misery. Conservatives enjoy life. Liberals are perpetually angry.
I have never been to the DU website/forum, but someone told me once that over at DU, they actually have an entire "Mental Health Support Group" forum dedicted to mental illnesses among their members. It's one of their bigger forums. I guess all that hate takes it toll on a person. hahahahaha
Thus, Ann Coulter’s book title “If Democrats had brains they would be Republicans” is a pure scientific truth. heh heh
This is why:
“...for example, how it is that the left can turn a quintessential patriot such as General Petraeus into a traitor, while transforming their own treasonous beliefs into patriotism.
This is nothing new. The left does the same thing with criminals. It makes no sense to a psychologically healthy person, but to an unhealthy person, liberal victimhood is psychologically empowering, because at least it allows the self-proclaimed victim to externalize their subjugation while secretly being responsible for it.
A leftist can be a typical loser whose failure is entirely self-generated. But proclaiming yourself victim means never having to recognize that painful truth.
Does anyone have a doubt that this would be repeated all over CNN and MSNBC if it was the other way around?
"There is no peace for the wicked,' says the Lord."....Isaiah 48:22>>>>>

Ecclesiastes 10:2 reads, "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." .... That say's it all!!!

And we're surprised?
Of course we're more mentally stable and happy.

Love that passage Darth. Living the American lie, complete with fake heroes, phony credentials and blind obsession!!!
This is proof of the internal conflicts that tear at their minds when they have to cover one lie with another, never to admit they are wrong with the blood of their countrymen on their hands from committing them to do their dirty work and thence pulling their support. Maybe they have a repressed subconscious conscience after all. Wouldn't bet on it though.
drstrangeloveb52isok, think of it as, misfits and deviants are welcome.

That is a picture of the Shallow end of the gene pool.

The party differences can be attributed to the fact that Democrats are the party of doom, gloom, and hate that depresses themselves and others who buy into their persistent negative thinking. The cure is to listen to and read Rush Limabaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levine, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and, of course, the upbeat and wisdom of Wild Thing.

drstrangeloveb52isok,Rosie O'Donnell is one that is especially scary to me.

Lynn, yep and what I found fun about this is that the poll is done by a leftie. hahaha

Jack, when I think of the dems we know, they seem miserable. They want to stay angry all the time, how awful that would be.
