It looks like Republicans are overall a happier bunch:
Democrats don’t even go to seventy, let alone eighty, when their dude is in the White House. The reason is that they want too much from their guy. What they want, he can’t give because a politician is not the source of it.
Happy long weekend to those of us who like to be happy, whatever our political persuasion.

What I find striking about this graph is how deeply the US populace has become polarized over the past 25 years. Notwithstanding the period before being mostly outside the axis range, it seems until early 2000s the political views and loyalties were not so sharply divided — won’t be surprised if these ideological faultlines was intensified by the advent of social media around the same time.

Without more graph, though, you might use it to argue that GWB ruined everything 😉

IKR? Apparently in 2001, everybody was happier… when Bush was president??

If the data behind this graph is to be believed, that’s when the divide sets in and also the trend for the overall decline in satisfaction with politics. It’s more the perfect out-of-phase oscillations of blue and red which have set in which is … a problem.
