HAPPINESS LEVELS ARE STILL HIGH, BUT THOSE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY ARE LESS CONTENT, AMID RISING WORRIES OVER PURCHASING POWER, QUALITY OF LIFE, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND HEALTH The majority of
people in France say they are happy, a new poll has found, despite worries over the climate and rising costs. However, fewer people say they feel optimistic now than in 2021. The results
were: * HAPPY: 68% (down 11 percentage points compared to October 2021) * REASONABLY HAPPY: 17% (up six points) * NOT HAPPY: 14% (up four points) FINANCIAL STRUGGLES Unsurprisingly,
happiness levels vary considerably depending on income. Of those who do not have to cut costs to make ends meet each month, 81% say they are happy. In comparison, for those who do struggle,
only 54% say they are happy. Managers are more likely to say they are happier (87%), compared to manual workers (62%) or professional employees (67%). WORRIES OVER SPENDING POWER While the
majority of respondents are still positive, the general level of optimism has dropped since 2021. * CONFIDENCE: 29% (down four percentage points) * SERENITY: 28% (down four points) *
SATISFACTION: 27% (down seven) * WEARINESS: 45% (up four) * NOSTALGIA: 42% (up two) * SADNESS: 34% (up seven) * ANGER: 31% (up seven) * FEAR: 26% (up seven) This slight drop in optimism can
be explained by rising worries about global issues. These include: * 91% say they are worried about their purchasing power decreasing over the next few months * 89% fear a drop in their
quality of life due to rising costs * 85% are worried about climate change effects, such as flooding, natural disasters and a lack of water * 74% fear that their health will get worse due to
pollution and environmental issues POLITICAL LEANING Differences also exist depending on political allegiance. More than two thirds (77%) of people who voted for Emmanuel Macron in the most
recent presidential elections say that things are “going well” for them personally. This compares to 63% who voted for (left-wing) Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and 58% for (far-right) Marine Le Pen.
