Americans' Top New Year's Resolutions For 2017

Even though the vast majority of people struggle to follow and fulfill their New Year's resolutions, those annual vows do come with a certain amount of charm. Most people dream of a healthy year laced with possiblities every January and 2017 looks like it'll be no different.

According to a recent survey by the Marist Poll, "being a better person" is going to be the top New Year's resolution among Americans this year with 16 percent. "Losing weight" and "exercising more" are tied for second with 10 percent each. A classic, "giving up smoking", appears further down the list with 6 percent.
