Two weeks away from Election Day, nearly half of American voters are experiencing election-related stress, according to a new poll.
The ABC News poll found that 46% of likely voters said the 2016 election is stressful. Half of those voters said it had caused them “serious stress.” On the other hand, 53% of voters said the election was not a source of stress.
Election stress was particularly high among liberal Democrats (57%) and evangelical white Protestants (56%), according to the survey, which also revealed a gender gap. While 51% of women indicated stress over the election, just 39% of men felt the same.
At 59%, college-educated white women were the group most likely to say the election had caused them stress. At 38%, non-college-educated white men were the group least likely to indicate stress.
