40% Agree with Government Challenge of US Airways-American Merger
Voters are closely divided over the U.S. Justice Department’s decision to contest the merger of US Airways and American Airlines, but nearly half predict airline fares will go up if the merger goes through. Forty percent (40%) of Likely U.S. Voters agree with the Justice Department’s decision to challenge the merger, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Thirty-two percent (32%) disagree with that challenge, but a sizable 28% are not sure about it. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
