Columbus Day Considered Minor Holiday, Poll Shows

Monday might be Columbus Day but most Americans dont consider it that important according to a new poll.

Rasmussen Reports released a poll which shows only 8 percent of adults think Columbus Day is one of the most important holidays while 45 percent say it is one of the least important and 43 percent of those surveyed think it ranks between the two extremes.

The poll of 1,000 American adults was taken from Oct. 10-11 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.

Still, theres no rush to abolish the holiday. Last year, a Rasmussen poll found only 26 percent of those surveyed want to get rid of Columbus Day while 58 percent think it should still be celebrated.
