Three-quarters of voters trying to keep up with political news say they find it at least somewhat stressful to do so, a new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds. Only 30% of voters trying to stay abreast of politics this year call it very stressful. But that’s up considerably from 2018, when about half of voters trying to follow the news found it somewhat stressful and just 15% found it very stressful. Asked for their relative impressions of this year’s election, voters give 2020 a number of ― largely dubious ― superlatives. Six in 10 say it’s more divisive than past elections, and two-thirds say it’s weirder than previous election cycles.
