One wonders if Democrats are less happy because they spend more time thinking about poor people, gun violence, and the long term impacts of foreign policy rather then enjoying low taxes and military ass kicking.

married people are happier than single people? so -that's- why the divorce rate is approaching 60%....

i concur with the earlier post: they're really measuring security, not happiness. i'm pretty happy in my leftwing northeastern democratic singlehood, but i'm also pretty damn worried about the state of things.
