Nearly 70% of Americans are stressed by the U.S. presidential election, AFP reported on the 4th local time.
According to the news agency, a survey by the American Psychological Association, whose results were released last month, found that 69% of adults in the U.S. said they were under considerable stress from the presidential election.
This is above 68% in 2020 and much higher than 52% in 2016.
The American Psychological Association said on its website, "Americans are feeling increasingly stressed about politics."
In particular, regarding this election, "It was a turbulent election season. There have been assassination attempts, candidates have been replaced belatedly, dramas have taken place at the debate, and there have been court fights," he said.
The news agency explained that Republican former President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris are putting very much pressure on voters to protect the country from that, claiming that if their opponent is elected in this election, there will be upheaval and ruin.
Many Americans are feeling tired or angry as the election campaign progresses to a tired state, and if it's not, I hope it ends soon.
At the same time, the news agency reported Americans doing yoga or meditation to relieve stress.
As polling day approaches, articles are being posted online with all sorts of advice on dealing with election stress.
A variety of coping strategies have been proposed, ranging from breathing practice to the secret to avoiding social media in bed.
