The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
December 23, 2020: A PoliticalIQ survey found that 40% of voters nationwide will celebrate Christmas this Friday as a religious holiday. For 32%, the celebration will include a mix of religious and secular elements, while 19% will celebrate a secular holiday. Nine percent (9%) do not celebrate Christmas in any manner or are not sure.[1]
In terms of celebrating, there are significant generational and demographic divides. Among voters under 25, just 23% celebrate primarily as a religious holiday. Among senior citizens, that figure jumps to 49%.[1]
However, a majority of every measured demographic group includes some religious elements in their celebration. For example, while 23% of the youngest voters celebrate Christmas solely as a religious holiday, another 28% of voters under 25 include both religious and secular elements in their festivities.[1]
Yesterday’s Number of the Day showed that 63% of voters consider their faith more important than their politics.
