A poll uses responses to several questions to calculate a "Happiness" index that measures overall happiness. An article included the happiness index for the 7 years between 2008 and 2016. Also included in the article were the percentages of people who responded "somewhat agree" or "strongly agree" to the following statements. Statement 1 (happy with life) 1: At this time, I'm generally happy with my life. Statement 2 (won't benefit): I won't get much benefit from the things that I do anytime soon.
