Gallup just released a new poll, and the news is in: the recent Wall Street woes are affecting more than just our wallets—it’s getting to our happiness as well.
Snarky-ness aside, the poll shows that depressed moods are at their highest rate so far this year:
“The percentage of Americans experiencing a lot of happiness/enjoyment without a lot of stress/worry hit a new low for the year on Monday at 39%. The depressed mood coincides with the beginning of the turmoil on Wall Street and in the financial markets that began to unfold in the major news media on Sunday and Monday.”
