Young people doing constructive things in 4-H have what it takes for widespread appeal and the public's favorable response, according to a 1976 Gallup poll. People know about 4-H and they like it.
The Extension Service was invited by Gallup pollsters to participate in a survey of national youth-service groups. Gallup's statistics revealed that: 77 percent of the people interviewed were aware of 4-H. Of those, 91 percent had favorable attitudes toward 4-H. Almost none of the interviewees held unfavorable attitudes toward the organization. More than three out of four persons aware o 4-H believe its work is worthwhile or even essential. The reasons the public gave for its favorable attitude toward 4-H: "It's good for young people... "it provides constructive attitudes"... "it teaches youth good skills, develops character and makes good citizens."
