Gleb Tsipursky claims in his article "How Do You Live Happily Ever After When There’s A Love Triagle?":

Moreover, research on poly relationships show that people with consensual non-monogamous relationships are happier, especially with their sex lives, than those who are in traditional monogamous relationships, and communicate more openly.

Is this true?

How do you measure "happiness"? – Philipp May 5 '15 at 13:53
    
Polling or brain chemical analysis I would guess – Mark Rogers May 5 '15 at 14:19

Observationally, for a poly relationship to work you have to have constant and very open communication. That is a major key to successful relationships in general and may provide a simple explanation for the phenomenon. – glenatron May 7 '15 at 10:18
