The Ipsos-backed survey of 2,545 US adults found 73% feel prosperous, while 81% said prosperity was unchanged or improved over the past six months.
Respondents said mental, physical and financial health mattered more to prosperity than politics, markets or the economy, though 61% expect living costs to rise and 58% see the economy worsening.
Financial stress was the top driver of worsening mental wellbeing for 50% of affected respondents, while people with an advisor, investments and insurance scored eight points higher, at 76.
