HILL STAFF VIEWS: Huge Majority of Congressional Aides Favor Making Election Day a National Holiday
(QUICK READ) — Support among the 12,000+ congressional aides working for senators, representatives and committees is absolutely huge, especially from those working on Democratic staffs, according to the latest CNCT Capitol Pulse survey.
Overall, 82.61 percent of the respondents said they favor such a national holiday for voting, but the surprise in that big number is the differential between how Democrats responded compared to Republicans.
Among the Democrats, support was all but unanimous, coming in at 97.92 percent. That compared to 67.31 percent among Republican staffers responding to the survey question. Capitol Pulse did not request respondents to provide reasons for their particular responses.
