New research holds the potential to measure the mental health tolls on voters. A new study indicates that the anxiety of Americans regarding politics reaches its peak prior to a significant election, as researchers are making progress in comprehending the effect of polarized politics on both mental
Using a two-wave panel survey of political anxiety administered two weeks before and two weeks following the 2020 election, the study found that Americans were more anxious before the election, as researchers had hypothesized. Following the election, it was those who specifically voted for Donald Trump, as well as conservatives and African Americans, who reported lower levels of anxiety.
The most anxious group, before and after the election, were those more politically engaged or attentive to politics. Their anxiety levels rose after the election. Despite that, Smith said the study establishes a method for researchers to measure political anxiety going forward. “Would an election in a Republican- or Democratic-leaning state, where the outcome seems pre-determined, be less anxiety-inducing than in a battleground state, where a ton of money from outside special interests is coming in, and it’s dominating the news cycle?” Smith said. “I don’t know, but it is a relevant question, because, with state and local elections, you’d be going through this cycle each year.
