Gallup Poll: More Americans Suffering. The Highest Number Since 2008

Gallup: In U.S., Poor Life Ratings Reach Record High 

* The "suffering" rate has climbed for both Democrats and Republicans

* The percentage of adults classified as "thriving" has dropped again, to 51.2% 

* Daily stress and worry remain steady and near pre-pandemic levels 

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The percentage of Americans who evaluate their lives poorly enough to be considered "suffering" on Gallup's Life Evaluation Index was 5.6% in July, the highest since the index's inception in 2008. This exceeds the previous high of 4.8% measured in April and is statistically higher than all prior estimates in the COVID-19 era. Across extensive measurement since January 2008, the suffering percentage has reached 4.5% or higher on a handful of occasions. 

The most recent results, obtained July 26 to Aug. 2, 2022, are based on web surveys of 3,649 U.S. adults as a part of the Gallup Panel, a probability-based, non-opt-in panel of about 115,000 adults across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
