I don’t know why I find this amazing but I do. It’s no wonder the report has a section titled, “Wal-Mart Nation.”

Nearly every American lives near enough a Wal-Mart to shop there, and 84% say they have done so in the past year. Praise for the retailer’s low prices, wide selection and convenience flow freely, and 81% of those with a Wal-Mart nearby say it is a good place to shop.

This is from a just-released report by The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. You can see a summary of the findings: Wal-Mart a Good Place to Shop But Some Critics Too.
