Sixty-four percent of respondents oppose this idea. Another 7% stated that they are indifferent to this issue, and 4% were unable to answer.
- In dynamics, the share of those who support rescheduling the date of Christmas has increased. In 2016, only 15% supported this idea, while 69% were opposed.
- The highest level of support for moving Christmas is observed in the western region, where 43% support the idea and almost the same share do not support it.
