Yesterday was Columbus Day, though the only way most of us found out is when we realized there was no mail service. While most Americans say we should continue to honor Christopher Columbus’ achievement with a national holiday, far less consider it the most important holiday of the year. A new Rasmussen Reports survey found that 57% of adults feel America should continue to honor Columbus with a national holiday; 27% disagree; 15% aren’t sure; and only 9% consider Columbus Day to be one of our nation’s most important holidays. Another 37% see it as the least important, while 51% say it’s somewhere in between.
