Santa Approval Numbers Solid

It’s a wonderful life for Santa. An AP-AOL News poll finds him to be an enduring giant in the lives of Americans.

Fully 86% in the poll believed in Santa as a child. And despite the multiethnic nature of the country, more than 60% of those with children at home consider Santa important in their holiday celebrations now. In the poll, 8 was the average age for a child’s Santa reality check. Fifteen percent hung on to their belief over age 10.

Nearly half of those polled, 47%, said Santa detracts from the religious significance of Christmas; over one-third, 36%, said he enhances the religious nature of the holiday. The telephone poll of 1,000 adults was taken Dec. 12-14 by Ipsos, an international polling firm. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. – Associated Press
