#Political #climate a top #stressor for adults, more than previous elections: Study

The political ads, the television coverage and the constant sound bites appear to be taking a psychological toll on many Americans. A new study by The Harris Poll, on behalf of the American Psychological Association, found that people are very worried about the nation’s political climate.

The study surveyed about 3,300 adults. Around 69% of respondents said that the presidential election is a significant source of stress, making it the No. 3 stressor for respondents. U.S. politics was close behind at 62%.
