Among those celebrating, 95% plan to share a meal with family and friends, 70% will attend church on Easter Sunday, and 52% will have an Easter egg hunt.
Among all voters, 77% say the man known to history as Jesus Christ actually walked the earth, and 63% believe Jesus physically rose from the dead.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 Registered Voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on March 30-31, 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.
