Poll suggests…If you live in a small Nebraska town, you don’t go to church…much

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A poll suggests that people who live in small Nebraska towns are less likely to attend church than people who live in bigger cities.

The Nebraska Rural Poll says 75 percent of poll respondents said they belong to a church, with 39 percent saying they attend services weekly or more often. But people who live in or near towns of fewer than 500 were least likely to attend weekly church services; thirty-five percent reported doing so.

The poll was sent to 6,350 households in Nebraska’s 84 nonmetropolitan counties in March and April. Results are based on more than 2,300 responses. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percent.
