 The top three charts are from the Amazon / Ipsos Poll -- done between January 28th and February 8th of a national sample of 6,354 adults, with a 1.23 point margin of error. It shows a majority of Americans support raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

The bottom chart shows the unemployment rate before and after previous raises of the minimum wage. Note that the raises had no real effect on the unemployment rate.
