2. What’s your favorite non-religious holiday/day of celebration? New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Earth Day, Mother’s Day/Father’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving or something else?

3. There has been discussion in the news lately concerning the use of full-body scans at airports. Full-body scans show images of the body through clothing. Some supporters of full-body scans argue that tests of the scans show them to be highly effective in keeping dangerous materials off airplanes, particularly non-metal materials that metal detectors won’t catch.  Some opponents argue that because the images of the body are so detailed, the image scanning can be humiliating to passengers and are too invasive. Some argue the need for a balance between the need for security measures and airline safety.
Do you agree or disagree that full-body scans should be allowed at airports?

We recently included several winning Top Question Tuesday selections on an interactive poll. Stay tuned to this blog as we’ll be releasing the results over the next several weeks! And don’t forget to submit your own nominations for Top Question Tuesday using the box on the right of this blog.

One question, timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street earlier this year,  asked which muppet was the respondent’s favorite. Cookie Monster led the list with 16% naming him as their favorite, followed by 11% saying Elmo, 10% each saying Big Bird or Oscar, 9% saying Grover, 5% each saying the Count or Ernie, and 2% saying Bert. 7% of our sample said they were too unfamiliar with the show to choose, and another 7% said “another muppet” is their favorite.

With a few exceptions, most subgroup responses mirrored the overall demographics. Males were slightly more likely than average to prefer Cookie Monster (19% of males vs 16%  of the overall sample ), while females were slightly more likely than average to prefer Big Bird (14% of females vs 10% of the overall sample). Those 18-29 were more likely than average to select Grover (16% of youth vs 9% overall), while those over 65 were much more likely to answer “not sure” or that they were too unfamiliar with the show to choose.

If you watched Sesame Street as a child, or watch it now with your own children, do you have a favorite muppet? Did you pay attention to any of Sesame Street’s  40 year anniversary celebrations earlier this year? What do you think the future holds for television programming aimed at children?
