Growing Ideological Divide in Personal Satisfaction

There is an increasing ideological divide in personal satisfaction and self-esteem between liberals and conservatives. Democrats are showing higher levels of dissatisfaction and pessimism in areas such as self-satisfaction, life satisfaction, optimism about the future, and finding life meaningful. While the divide is also seen among conservatives, the numbers are rising at a faster rate among liberals. This trend could be influenced by generational differences and wealth disparities, but it reflects a broader divide in political ideologies.
