May 13, 2024: Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters favor a proposal that would require most non-essential businesses to close on Sunday in order to give workers a day off. A Scott Rasmussen national survey conducted by RMG Research found that 41% are opposed.
The survey also found that 72% say they regularly set aside a day each week in their own lives to rest, spend time with family, and avoid work.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on May 1-2, 2024. 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.
