As 2013 draws to a close, pollsters have been finding out how people across the world feel about the state of their lives and the coming 12 months.

There has been no big change this year, and the global figure is down from highs in 2004 to 2005, but the upward trend since polling began in 1977 is pretty clear.
Slightly more 50 per cent polled this year say 2014 will be worse than 2013.

You have to go back to 1990 for the last time more people predicted a worse year than a better one.
