Gordie's Midday Gossip - 28% So glad it's over

No matter who you voted for, some us are just happy Election Day is behind us . In a last-minute poll done this weekend, 28% of Americans said they didn’t even care who won anymore. They just wanted the election to be over already. Millennials or people in their 30s and early 40s were the most likely to agree with that. 35% said they just wanted the election to be done.

4% overall said they might call in sick today, partly to unwind and recover from the election chaos. But nearly a third of them said they also didn’t want to get into election stuff with coworkers. They’d rather stay home and avoid the chatter. (A separate poll done just before Election Day asked how people would feel if their candidate lost. 31% said devastated . . . 40% said disappointed . . . 17% said “not sure,” or they didn’t have a favorite candidate . . . and 13% said they’d feel “indifferent” about it.)
