With the election season reaching its peak, we surveyed 1,000 people to see how the events of 2020 are impacting their mental health and substance use. The results were striking when we looked at the differences between party affiliations and how members are handling stress.
Democrats & Republicans are experiencing "election stress" differently. Nearly half of Democrats said the 2020 election has impacted their mental health, making them 89% more likely than Republicans and 30% more likely than Independents to do so.
Survey respondents who identified themselves as Republicans reported drug use at a higher rate than their Democratic or Independent peers. The most significant differences in the rates were between Republicans and Independents.
