Happiness, news and voting intentions

Happiness is a predictor of voting intentions and this is scary.

• Updated on November 03, 2025
I heard today that the best predictor to know wither someone in the USA would vote democrat or republican,
it is not their social background, it's not their age, it is how happy they are.

Meanwhile, news organizations and social media know that to catch our attention, they need to focus on negative things.

Negative news make us unhappy.

We might turn into a crazy world if we do not find a solution to prevent negativity.
