September 18, 2023: Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters agree that it should be legal to refuse service to those who don’t follow clear dress codes. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 24% of voters disagree.
The survey also found that a majority of voters (55%) believe that stores and restaurants should be able to deny service to anyone who uses profanity. Twenty-nine percent (29%) believe this service denial should be illegal.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on September 11-12, 2023. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the -sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
Note: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.
