Life is a little harder for left-handed people - CBS News poll
CBSN
Is life much harder for lefties? Few people think so, but a significant portion of the population — about four in 10 — do think that life is a little harder for them. Most, however, don't think being left-handed makes much of a difference these days.
According to some experts, just a little over 10% of people around the world are left-handed (our poll found a similar percentage), but there isn't a whole lot of difference between left-handed vs. right-handed people as regards the relative advantages or disadvantages of being a "Southpaw." Lefties are a little more likely to say life is much harder for them, but some — about one in 10 — actually think life is easier as a left-handed person.
Why is life harder for left-handed people? When asked to choose from a list of options, those who think life is harder overwhelmingly said that too many products and items are designed with right-handed people in mind: nearly nine in 10 say so.
