Public views on postal rate hike poll findings
George Gallup reports a coast to coast survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion showing support for a two cent postcard rate and a seven cent air mail rate, with less support for raising regular first class from 3 to 4 cents. The piece notes post office deficits, wage hikes, and publishing protests against higher second and third/fourth class rates. The figures highlight public reaction to proposed postal increases amid a department deficit and wage pressures.
