A recently released YouGov poll has found that due to political anxieties, Democrats are more likely to "eat their feelings" and drink more than their Republican counterparts. However, these same people were also more likely to exercise to reduce stress associated with politics as well.
According to a poll commissioned by the Daily Burn and conducted by YouGov, "Democrats are 50% more likely than Republicans to say they’re eating their feelings as a result of the current political climate." But they were also 40% more likely to exercise.
Likewise, the report shows that "political pain points have been driving Dems to drink more, at a 2-to-1 ratio over their counterparts in the GOP."
The same poll also found that Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike have admitted that events in the news have caused them to use more social media and binge-watch TV on platforms such as Netflix since 2016. However, even here Democrats were more likely to use social media at 59% Democrats and 52% Republicans admitting to increased usage. The numbers were similar for binge-watching TV at 57% and 50%.
Of those who have increased their exercise due to political pressures, many "have incorporated cardio, such as running, spinning/cycling, rowing, or ellipticals into their exercise regime."
“Exercise is critical in helping people deal with outside stress, whether it’s from work, personal life, or politics,” Tricia Han, CEO of Daily Burn released in a statement. “We wanted to get a sense for how these stressors are affecting exercise and other behavioral habits across party lines. While it’s surprising to see that across both aisles lower intensity exercises were more likely, no matter what the exercise is – HIIT, yoga, biking, etc. – pumping those endorphins is always a good idea.”
This survey was conducted online from Oct. 18-22 among 2,485 respondents age 18 and up, according to the Daily Burn's press release.
in for a penny, in for a pound... 8^)
The first time I heard 0bama speak I was completely turned off by his voice. I immediately muted him and did so every time he opened his mouth.
Animal House... in my Top 20 Movies of All Time...
Monty Python and the Holy Grail too.

Every time I see that photo, it frosts me that Hillabitch gives a bad name to the honorable libation known as whiskey on ice with a splash, which is my favorite after hours indulgence.
Why can’t she be downing girly shots instead? Or even Thunderbird?
I worked in NYC for 20 years.
Liberal woman there are many things. Most not good.
But MANY are STUNNINGLY gorgeous.
And smell great :)
What’s even sadder, when I got very sick at work and had to take a leave, the libs who I argued with for years were VERY generous in their get will gifts to me.
Some said they respected that I didn’t care that I was the only conservative in the office and spoke my mind.
Maybe i made a person or two think about their allegiance.
But in the end, for all their generosity, they were voting to destroy the US and I cannot really ever call someone like that a friend
There is nothing liberal about the modern liberal. Liberalism is an utterly reactionary philosophy. Let’s stop giving them any more ammunition by referring to them as “liberal”. They are not even to be viewed as intellectuals. They’re unhinged, out-of-control mentalists: dead from the neck down and really rather screw-loose from the neck up. It’s far more accurate to describe them as globo-fascist elitists
