*Summary: *The poll — which was presented on a slide deck https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4439116-Luntz-Global-National-Restaurant-Association.html obtained by The Intercept and Documented http://documentedinvestigations.org/ — found that seven in 10 Americans want to see the minimum wage raised even if it means that they’d have to pay more for meals. It also found that the industry’s various talking points against raising the wage are mostly falling flat with the general public.
