15% of America Is Shopping Today, 11% Are Already Done
The holiday shopping season keeps starting earlier and earlier.
This year, 11% of Americans had finished the gift-buying before Black Friday, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That’s up from seven percent (7%) who finished shopping early a year ago. The day after Thanksgiving is often considered the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season.

Given the holiday week, there will be no Rasmussen Challenge
this week. The contest will resume on Tuesday, November 27.
