This statistic presents the results of a phone survey conducted by Gallup among American adults who were 18 years and older in March and November 2013. Survey respondents were asked how they would vote on a law that would raise the federal minimum wage in the United States from 7.25 to 9 U.S. dollars an hour. Some 76 percent of respondents in November said they would vote for increasing it, up from 71 percent in March.
