# Most Say They Are Having a Typical Day

How would you describe your day today? Has it been a typical day, a particularly good day, or a particularly bad day? If you answered “typical” you’re in good company.

A median of nearly two-thirds (65%) across 44 countries surveyed in spring 2014 responded that they were having a typical day. Only around a quarter (27%) said their day was going particularly well, and not even one-in-ten (7%) admitted their day was going poorly.
