A poll (US) asked people to say whether they were not too happy, pretty happy, or very happy. The results were split into various categories, with some pretty interesting results. The percentage of people that answered "very happy" were:

Republican: 45%
Democrat: 30%
Independent: 29%

Age (18-29): 28%
Age (65+): 38%

Income (under 30K): 24%
Income (over 100K): 49%

Male: 35%
Female: 33%

Education (college grad): 42%
Education (HS or less): 30%

Church attendance (weekly or more): 43%
Church attendance (seldom or never): 26%

Conservative: 40%
Liberal: 27%

Do you think this is true in general? Are chuch-going conservatives happier that non-church-going liberals?

Well obviously, because they're seeing all their policies getting implemented, whereas "liberals" are being branded as Anti-American pinko crackpot commies and are told to move to Canada/France simply by voicing their opinions.
