But many Democrats in new poll can't stomach 'Merry Christmas'
A new poll finds Americans overwhelmingly prefer that stores use the
phrase "Merry Christmas" in their seasonal advertising rather than
"Happy Holidays.
The Rasmussen survey found 67 percent favor "Merry Christmas" while
just 26 percent prefer "Happy Holidays."
Rasmussen said the poll results were the same for males and females,
and there were few demographic differences.
A sharp difference, however, showed up between Republicans and
Democrats.
While 88 percent of Republicans prefer "Merry Christmas," just 57
percent of Democrats favor the saying.
Rasmussen also found 57 percent of respondents say they will attend a
Christian service on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day this year.
About 30 percent won’t go to a special service. Women are more likely
to attend a Christmas service than men, the survey found.
Several activist groups have launched campaigns in the last few years
to encourage stores to acknowledge that their biggest retail season of
the year is about Christmas, not winter or simply "holidays."
As WND reported, a group called the Committee to Save Merry Christmas
launched a successful boycott against Macy's then targeted Sears for
eliminated references to Christmas in its advertising.
The home-improvement retailer Lowe's dropped references to "Holiday
Trees" in favor of "Christmas Trees" just one day after a WND story
brought national exposure.
