Prime Time Typically Happens Before Noon, Poll Shows
Are you at your best in the morning? Then you've got lots of company from other "morning people," according to a new Gallup poll.
In the poll, some 1,000 U.S. adults were asked when they're at their best on a typical day. Their answers:
Age may make the morning sweeter
In the poll, 43% of adults aged 18-34 favored mornings, compared with 58% of those aged 35-54 and 59% of those aged 55 and older.
"Morning people" are particularly common among people with high salaries.
For instance, 70% of people in households earning at least $75,000 per year prefer mornings, compared with 40% of those in households earning less than $30,000 annually.
The poll, conducted by telephone in August, has a margin of error of +/- three percentage points.
