School Should Start After Labor Day, Majority of Americans Say in Poll

A new poll shows a majority of American adults believe schools should not open until after Labor Day. Some schools across Florida and the nation kicked off their school year earlier this month.

A Rasmussen Reports poll released on Wednesday finds a majority -- 53 percent -- of those surveyed think the school year should start after Labor Day while 36 percent want the school year to begin before it and 11 percent are undecided.

The poll of 1,000 American adults was taken from Aug. 24-25 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
