68% Prefer “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays” Thursday, November 27, 2008
Christmas is just around the corner, and a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of American adults prefer stores to show signs saying “Merry Christmas” rather than "Happy Holidays."
Only one-quarter of adults (25%) favor signs that say “Happy Holidays.” Those figures are virtually unchanged from our survey conducted this time last year.
Men (71%) favor “Merry Christmas” slightly more than women (65%).
From a politically partisan perspective, Republicans (84%) overwhelmingly prefer “Merry Christmas” more than Democrats (51%). Far more Democrats (43%) wish for “Happy Holidays” signs than Republicans (13%).

Thanks for the information!
Merry CHRISTmas!
