Good Riddance to 2013

"Put simply, most Americans are happy to see 2013 go," reports the latest Economist/YouGov poll:  69% consider 2013 a "bad year" (15% 'very bad'; 54% 'bad'); 31% a "good year" (3% 'very good'; 29% 'good').

USA Today writes that people "aren't reluctant to wave goodby on New Year's Eve, a new AP-Times Square poll says, reflecting anxiety stretching from the corridors of power in Washing to corporate boardrooms, statehouses, and city and town halls. ... All told, 32% say 2013 was a better year for them than 2012, while 20% say it was worse and 46% say the tow years were really about the same."
