PC-obsessed libs hardest hit.
(CNS News) — Americans overwhelmingly prefer the traditional “Merry Christmas” greeting over the “Happy Holidays” that some stores and businesses require their employees to utilize at this time of year.
A new Marist Poll of 1,026 adults nationwide finds that 64 percent — nearly two-thirds — think the appropriate greeting should be “Merry Christmas,” while 31 percent favored “Happy Holidays.”
The sentiment was strongest in the Midwest (70 percent) — but income level made no difference — with the same level of support (64 percent) for those who made under $50,000 as those who made over $50,000 a year.
People 45 or older were much more likely (72 percent) to support “Merry Christmas,” but the gap narrows to just two percentage points (49 percent to 47 percent) among those under age 45.
