The latest Monmouth University Poll takes on this weighty question. [Spoiler: it s the red schnozzola.] And although slightly fewer Americans say they celebrate today than two years ago, fully two-thirds use Merry as their preferred greeting during the Yuletide season. About 9-in-10 Americans (89%) celebrate, celebrate Hanukkah and celebrate Kwanzaa. The number who celebrate has dropped by a small but statistically significant 5 percentage points since 2015 when it stood at 9. The number who say they celebrate none of these December holidays has increased from to over the past two years. A Gallup poll conducted in 1990 found that 9 of the country celebrated and celebrated Hanukkah back then. The poll also finds that 67% of the public tends to use Merry as their usual greeting during this time of year. Another 2 say Happy Holidays. Because everything is political in this day and age, there is a bit of a partisan divide on the preferred seasonal greeting. Republicans (87%) are more likely than independents (6) and Democrats (5) to use Merry, while Democrats (3) and independents (29%) are much more likely than Republicans (9%) to use Happy Holidays. With apologies to Mark Twain, reports of the death of Merry have been greatly exaggerated, said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. Never one to shy away from asking the tough questions, Monmouth waded into the thick of the Yuletide debate to determine which animated holiday television special is truly America s favorite. In fact, nearly half the public can name a top pick. And the winner is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, chosen by 3 of those with a favorite animated special. A Charlie Brown places second (2), followed by How the Grinch Stole (1), and Frosty the Snowman (1). Other specials receiving honorable mention include 1
2 Monmouth University Polling Institute 12/14/17 The Nightmare Before (), The Polar Express (), Little Drummer Boy (), Santa Claus is Coming to Town (), The Year Without a Santa Claus (), and Mickey Mouse s (). Among Americans under 55 years old, those with children at home divide their loyalties between Charlie Brown (3) and Rudolph (3) while those without children in the household put Rudolph in first place (3) followed by the Grinch (2). Among those age 55 and over, Rudolph (3) barely nudges out Charlie Brown (27%) as favorite animated special. Monmouth also examined the choice of favorite animated holiday TV special by political leanings. And lo and behold, the poll finds no significant differences. All partisan groups put Rudolph in the top spot (Republicans-3, Democrats-3, independents-3) and Charlie Brown in second place (Republicans-2, Democrats-2, independents-2). Republicans, Democrats, and independents actually agreeing on something? It s a miracle! said Murray. The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone from December 10 to 12, 2017 with 806 adults in the United States. The results in this release have a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ. QUESTIONS AND RESULTS (* Some columns may not add to 10 due to rounding.) [Q1-4, 7, 9-18 previously released.] [Q5-6, 8, held for future release.] 33. Do you celebrate, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or none of these holidays?

This includes 403 contacted by a live interviewer on a landline telephone and 403 contacted by a live interviewer on a cell phone. Telephone numbers were selected through random digit dialing and landline respondents were selected with a modified Troldahl-Carter youngest adult household screen. Monmouth is responsible for all aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. Final sample is weighted for region, age, education, gender and race based on US Census information. Data collection support provided by Braun Research (field) and SSI (RDD sample). For results based on this sample, one can say with 9 confidence that the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points (unadjusted for sample design). Sampling error can be larger for subgroups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
