...but our poll results are in!
Among individuals who took the Royal Wedding poll, it appears that about
half (53%) were following the wedding and 35% at least planned on
watching. However, 59% of poll respondents had no particular plans for
the event, and 58% did not intend to watch the wedding. While
respondents showed a slight interest in the Royal Wedding, the majority
was not as captivated by the event as the media made it sound.
Question One
When it came to watching the Royal Wedding, respondents were just as likely to be ecstatic about it as they were to have no interest in it. At the far end of the spectrum, 29% of poll respondents said "no way" to watching the wedding. At the other end of the spectrum, 29% of respondents couldn't wait to watch Prince William get hitched. When combining the "no way" and "most likely not" responses, it appears that overall, 58% of people did not plan to watch the Royal Wedding, while 35% of respondents were "most likely" or "definitely" planning to watch.
Question Two
Approximately 59% of individuals had no special plans for the wedding. Among those who did have plans, an enthusiastic 12% hosted a very late, or early, party last Friday.
Question Three
In the days preceding the event, approximately 24% of respondents were following the Royal Wedding relatively closely, 29% were at least following it, and 48% of respondents really were not following it.
