Americans' assessments of their mental and physical health are the least positive they have been in the history of Gallup’s 24-year poll on the subject, with just 75% and 76% respectively rating their mental and physical health as “excellent” or “good,” according to its latest survey released March 13. The results contrast from a record-high 89% mental health rating in 2012 and 82% physical health rating in 2003.
