According to the results of a Gallup poll released Friday, only 83 percent of New York Citys populationor barely 7 million residentsvisit and tour the Statue of Liberty daily. We were surprised to find that nearly one in five New Yorkers do not set aside several hours each day to ride a ferry to Liberty Island, snap pictures around and within Lady Liberty, and listen to lectures by park rangers on the statues history and cultural significance, said Gallup demographer Lindsay Abraham, adding that although the majority of New York citizens wake up before work to visit the Statue of Libertys crown each weekday morning, most only take in the view for a maximum of 40 minutes before leaving. Perhaps most interestingly, residents of the New York metropolitan area tend to spend a mere five hours every week watching Statue of Libertyrelated documentaries in the islands information center and museum. It may be for this reason that the purchase of gift shop items such as Statue of Libertythemed T-shirts, snow globes, and novelty hats accounts for a mere $4,800 annually out of the average New Yorkers pocket. Abraham added that researchers were further shocked to discover that barely three-fourths of New York residents could recite from memory the entire Emma Lazarus poem The New Colossus mounted inside the statues pedestal.
