How's the Well-Being of Your State? A Record Number Saw Declines Last Year.

Fortune
February 13,2018
By Hallie Detrick

The Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index for 2017 paints a bleak picture of the general state of America.

The annual report, released Tuesday, showed that 21 states saw a decline in well-being while zero states saw an improvement—a first in the index’s nearly decade-long history. Although some physical and community well-being measurements improved, they were outweighed by the drop in measurements of purpose, social well-being, and mental health.

Maine and Alaska demonstrated the largest declines in the rankings, with Maine falling 20 places from its No. 4 rank in 2016 to its No. 24 rank in 2017. Alaska fell 23 places from No. 2 in 2016 to No. 25 in 2017.

The bottom five are Oaklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and West Virginia.
Trump and the GOP are literally killing the Country.

I expected we'd be into the fifth by now.
