Election anxiety

A survey by AMFM found election politics are driving Americans up the wall: 22% say election coverage is hurting their mental health.

A different poll from studyfinds.org had a more dramatic finding, though: Stress is sky-high. Most Americans -- 60% -- feel the 2024 race is impacting their mental health.

WFYI blames the exhausting nature of politics: 94M Americans say it's making them lose sleep, some even have suicidal thoughts.

UC Berkeley blames the anxiety on high stakes, though: The outcome of the 2024 election has Americans worried about democracy and potential violence

Whatever is causing it, The Atlantic makes the case for embracing a little election anxiety: It's an appropriate response to a decision that could shape the future of our country!
