This statistic presents the results of a phone survey conducted by Abt-SRBI of New York among American adults in February 2013. Respondents were asked how likely they would be to vote for a congressional candidate who supported increasing the minimum wage. Some 28 percent of respondents said this fact wouldn't make much difference to them in their decision.
If a candidate for U.S. Congress supports increasing the minimum wage, would that make you more likely to vote for that candidate, less likely, or wouldn't it make much difference in your vote?
