The Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index tracks daily the percentage of Americans who, reflecting on the day before they were surveyed, say they experienced a lot of happiness and enjoyment without a lot of stress and worry versus the percentage who say they experienced daily worry and stress without a lot of happiness and enjoyment. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 500 national adults; margin of error is ±5 percentage points.
A new Gallup Poll panel survey shows that Obama voters are, more than anything else, motivated to vote for their candidate because he would bring about change, while McCain voters support their candidate because of his experience and because they agree with his views on issues.
By a 71% to 23% ratio, Americans expect that Barack Obama will defeat John McCain on Election Day next Tuesday; even McCain’s own supporters are slightly more likely to say that Obama rather than McCain will win.
Americans' personal satisfaction remains significantly higher than satisfaction with the way things are going in the U.S.
