Poll: How many Americans are going to a party on New Year's Eve?

Despite their party’s victory in the 2014 midterm elections, there is not much indication that Republicans are more likely to increase their partying this year over last.  Just over one in five Republicans will attend a New Year’s party this year; last year just under one in five said they would.  One in three Democrats, both this year and last, will party the New Year in.

There are more people, young and old, staying awake this year.
