TRIGGER WARNING:  In which I talk to the view of the majority.

For John, BLUF:  However, history shouldn't be based on polls.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Poll:  Most Americans Want to Celebrate
Columbus Day

From Pajama Media, by Tyler O'Neil, 5 October 2017.

Money paragraph:

Perhaps in light of this, a Marist/Knights of Columbus (KOC) poll conducted in September found that 57 percent of Americans said they think "it is a good idea ... to have a holiday named after Christopher Columbus."  Only 29 percent said they think it is a "bad idea," while 15 percent remained undecided.
