Study Finds Liberal Women Report Higher Levels of Loneliness and Unhappiness Than Conservatives

The 2024 American Family Survey reveals stark differences in life satisfaction and social integration between liberal and conservative women aged 18-40.

  • Only 12% of liberal women aged 18-40 reported being satisfied with their lives, compared to 37% of conservative women in the same age group.
  • Liberal women were nearly three times more likely than conservative women to experience loneliness at least a few times per week.
  • Marriage rates among conservative women were significantly higher, with 51% married compared to 31% of liberal women, according to the survey.
  • Experts attribute liberal women’s lower happiness levels to reduced integration into traditional institutions like marriage and religion, which provide meaning and social support.
  • The survey, conducted in 2024 and released in February 2025, polled 3,000 Americans nationwide on their life satisfaction, relationships, and values.
