I caught this earlier over at Hot Air, but I’d put off until now. The reason? I read it as “64%”, not “94%”. 94% is quite a staggering figure. Only 6% of all Americans are actually dissatisfied with their lives. The New York Post’s headline appropriately reads, “Happy Days are Here Again”.

A surprising 94 percent of Americans say they are satisfied with their lives – although far fewer in New York and other Eastern states think they’re better off than they were five years ago, according to a new survey.

The Harris Poll of more than 1,000 people reported the overall “satisfaction” level, defined as people who said they were either very or somewhat satisfied with their lot, was up 4 percentage points, from 90 percent two years ago.

I wonder if Bush gets the “blame” for that, as he does for all of the bad news. Nah. Must’ve been a result of electing Democrats to Congress!
