The poll, which gathered responses from nearly 2,900 U.S. adults, reveals that about one-third of respondents firmly believe in soulmates, while a similar proportion are skeptical. Interestingly, those who believe in soulmates tend to report higher levels of happiness and are more likely to be married compared to non-believers.

Happiness appears to be closely linked to belief in soulmates. Among those who believe, a significant portion describe themselves as very happy, a stark contrast to those who do not believe. This correlation suggests that belief in soulmates might contribute to a more positive outlook on life. Additionally, believers are more likely to be married, with over half of them reporting marital status, compared to just over a third of non-believers.
Education and income levels also show notable differences. Believers are more likely to hold a bachelor’s degree than non-believers, indicating a potential link between education and belief in soulmates. Income distribution among believers is more even across various brackets, whereas a significant portion of non-believers earn less than $25,000 annually.
Age and parental status further differentiate these groups. Older adults are more likely to believe in soulmates, with a notable presence of believers aged 65 or older. Moreover, believers are more likely to be parents, suggesting that life experiences might influence belief in soulmates.
Gender distribution is relatively balanced among believers and non-believers, with slight variations. However, living area preferences show that believers are more inclined to reside in suburban areas, while non-believers are more evenly spread across cities and rural areas.
