What People Will Do This Spring

“Spring cleaning” isn’t just an expression, if respondents to a Rasmussen Reports survey are to be believed. Seventy-five percent of women and 63 percent of men said they’ll actually do some of it. Maybe that helps explain why spring, notwithstanding its other virtues, doesn’t rank as Americans’ favorite season. Twenty-eight percent accorded it that status, leaving it in a tie with autumn and behind summer (picked by 33 percent). Considering that so many people are glad to be done with winter (just 5 percent said it’s their favorite season), you’d think spring would fare better in such voting.
