Americans dislike paywalled survey articles.

You get some details even with the paywall, and I do have a membership. If you want more details, all you have to do is ask.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 48% of American Adults say they plan to take a summer vacation this year – barely changed from last year – while 40% aren’t planning a vacation and 12% aren’t sure. The number of Americans with summer vacation plans hit an all-time low of 26% during the COVID-19 pandemic year of 2020. Usually, more people say they’re planning a vacation than actually do get away for a summer trip. Forty-one percent (41%) of Americans took a vacation last summer, but a majority (55%) did not. Of those who didn’t take a summer vacation last year, 27% say they plan to take a vacation this summer.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 60% of American Adults think it is important for young people to go to a summer camp, including 22% who say summer camp is Very Important. That finding is similar to two years ago, when 59% thought it was important for kids to go to summer camp. Thirty percent (30%) now believe summer camp is not important for young people. Fifty percent (50%) of adults say either they or an immediate family went to a summer camp for children – barely changed from two years ago – while 45% never attended summer camp.
