This statistic presents the results of a phone survey conducted by Abt-SRBI of New York among American adults in February 2013. Respondents were asked how likely they would be to vote for a congressional candidate who supported increasing the minimum wage. Some 28 percent of respondents said this fact wouldn't make much difference to them in their decision.
