Republicans Report Much Better Mental Health Than Others

Relationship persists even when controlling for other variables

PRINCETON, NJ -- Republicans are significantly more likely than
Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent,
according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and
Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having
excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of
Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of
excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age,
gender, church attendance, and education.

Of course they're more apt to rate their mental health as excellent than
others are.....these are the same folks who bought into WMDs, yellow cake,
al Qaeda in Iraq before we arrived, etc. They're the ones who think
everyone is out of step but them. They're so sick that they can't even
recognize the symptoms of their illness when they look in the mirror right
at them.

George Z.

Then again, George, with that negative hostile attitude you display,
you're already halfway to the loony bin.
