Maybe it is because many of us are working. It could be all the open stores and laundromats.
But most people do not think that today’s federal holiday for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. ranks up there as one of the nation’s important ones.
Just 34% told the Rasmussen Reports survey team that it is “most important.” Another 13% called it the “least important” federal holiday. And the bulk, 48%, said its importance is “somewhere in between.”
But the results also suggested that how the nation feels about the importance of the day should not detract from how they view the man most famous for his nonviolent demonstrations for civil and black rights before he was assassinated in 1968.
The polling outfit said 83% of voters have a favorable opinion of King, including 50% who have a very favorable opinion.
And a growing number of people believe his call for unity and equal opportunity has been met.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 40% of American adults think the nation has reached the day when men and women of all races have equal opportunity, just like King preached about in his famous ‘I Have A Dream’ speech 60 years ago. Forty-eight percent (48%) feel the United States has not reached a time of equal opportunity. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure,” the pollster said. “This year’s findings are an improvement from last year, when 54% said America had not yet achieved MLK’s dream.”

Excuse me while I whip this out.
That’s a bigga salami!...............
Also, it comes just two weeks after the end of the Christmas/New Year holiday season.
America was pressured into observing this, people just felt it wasn't worth the fight. That "statue" is horrendous, so perfectly fitting.
That sculpture is gross.
One out of three people are completely retarded or lying.
Some black guy getting killed is most important?
More so than Independence or Veterans?
F these 34%.
Peyronie’s disease.
If you commissioned The KKK to do a statue honoring MLK, that’s what it would have looked like.
Tomb of the Unknown Catfish Noodler.
Looks like some snake from the alien movie wrapped around them sucking the life out of them.
I get off on it.
That’s-a not-a salami!
Personally I pay no attention to what polls say......too much data manipulation to sway public opinion and set a narrative to pursue an agenda IMO.
IOW many polls have been weaponized.
Looks like some cannibal trying to eat a turd as if it were corn-on-the-cob.
It was pandering nothing more...
From a historical importance...
Honestly I’d put Juneteenth way above MLK.
Celebrating the ending of slavery is a far bigger deal than on man’s birthday.
Washington helped make this Nation happen.
Lincoln saved and preserved it.
MLK was an important historical figure, but I don’t believe he’s on that level.
And if the recent allegations about his personal behavior are true.. it’s disturbing on all sorts of levels.
Both men were politicians first and foremost, and I believe if both were alive today, they would be running around with gay pride flags, defending infanticide without limits, demanding an end to fossil fuels, and being in lock step with every other contemporary anti-American leftist.
I believe this is true based on the behavior of their surviving family members and proteges.
Look no further than Ted Kennedy, Jessie Jackson, and Rafael Warnock for examples.
You’re probably correct. I just had to “yell at those damned kids to get off of my lawn!”
I’m better now. :)
