How was your year? 2025 was only a five out of 10 for most, according to new research. A poll of 2,000 Americans examining last year asked respondents to score how the year was for them personally out of 10 and saw 5.3 was the average vote cast. In what was, overall, a year of “meh” given the overall rating, a quarter of people (25%) voted 2025 a poor 12 months, with scores of one, two or three out of 10.  A fifth (21%) rated it a very good year personally, marking it an eight, nine or 10.
