Almost 5 percent of people said they planned to call in sick the day after Election Night just to unwind from all the election chaos.

A third of them said they didn't want to deal with any confrontations with their coworkers over politics. The survey of 1,000 U.S. adults split by political party, looked at how the election impacted Americans’ lives even as votes are being cast and counted.

The survey also found men were more concerned than women about how the results of the election would be received overall (34% vs 13%). While women don’t want to discuss it with others (20% vs 14%).
