Is it standard in the US to say "great, thanks" even if you're feeling crap? A standard answer in the UK is "alright, thanks" which pretty much means nothing, because it can mean both awful and great.
The only polite answer, according to Miss Manners, is "Fine, and you?" If someone wants more detail, they will say rather, "Now, tell me; how are you really doing?"
