If so, you join the 44% of Americans who say they will do so for 2014, according to a <a href=\"http:\/\/maristpoll.marist.edu\/1223turning-over-a-new-leaf-in-2014\/\">Marist poll <\/a>conducted in December 2013 among\u00a01,173 adults. This share is\u00a0up slightly from the 40% who planned to make a resolution a year ago.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/maristpoll.marist.edu\/1223turning-over-a-new-leaf-in-2014\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f3f2f1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f3f2f1;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" class=\"wp-image-27233 not-transparent\" alt=\"FT_new-years-marist\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/12\/FT_new-years-marist.jpg\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are Americans resolving to do? You might expect the perennial favorite &#8220;lose weight&#8221; to top the list, but according to Marist&#8217;s question with open-ended responses, this year Americans are more concerned about other self-perceived shortcomings: 12% of those who plan to make a resolution say they want to spend less money or save more; 12% want to be a better person; and 12% want to exercise more. About the same share (11%) of Americans say they resolve to lose weight. The other most popular resolutions are also health-oriented: 8% of those making resolutions plan to quit smoking, eat better or take other steps to improve their health.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among those who had a New Year\u2019s resolution (and remember it), 72% said they kept it. If that holds up, we can all look forward to a trimmer, more financially sound, kinder American public in 2014 &#8212; and perhaps the need for fewer resolutions in the future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than four-in-ten Americans say they will make a New Year\u2019s
