Unhappy?
A Gallup poll of the 50 states finds:
"wild, wonderful" West Virginia was ranked last among the states. And the bluegrass state of Kentucky was 49th, with Mississippi 48th on the list.
And more specifically
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index also ranked congressional districts...On the opposite end, Rep. Harold Rogers' district in eastern Kentucky's coal country and New York Rep. Jose Serrano's district, which includes the distressed neighborhood of the South Bronx, had the lowest well-being scores.
The poll of 'well-being' includes things like eating habits, health, and smiling.
"It's not just about physical health," said Eric Nielsen, a spokesman for Gallup. "It's about their ability to contribute at work and be more productive, and it's about feeling engaged in a community and wanting to improve that community."
That's quite an indictment.
