The 2024 American Family Survey found that 37% of conservative women report being “completely satisfied” with life – three times the rate of their liberal counterparts, among whom only 12% say the same.
Meanwhile, liberal women are two-to-three times more likely to express dissatisfaction with their lives than conservative women.
