Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

From Drudge:

The Pew Research Center recently updated a question about happiness that the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago has been asking since 1972. In every asking of the question, ROLL CALL reports, Republicans have been happier than Democrats. Republicans tend to be better off than Democrats, and that is one explanation for the happiness gap. But when the researchers controlled for household income, Republicans at all income levels were happier than Democrats at those same income levels. As for ideology, conservative Republicans were happier than conservative Democrats, and moderate to liberal Republicans were happier than comparable Democrats.

Considering the year I had last year, Democrats must be downright suicidal.
