Favorite Leisure Activities

What are the nation’s favorite pastimes?

When asked to name their favorite leisure-time activities, the largest numbers of adults mention reading (35%), watching TV (21%) and spending time with their families and children (20%).

While the numbers have varied from year to year, these three activities have topped the list virtually every year since The Harris Poll® began asking this question in 1995.

Next on the list of favorite pastimes, but far below these top three, is going to the movies (10%), fishing (8%), computer-related activities (7%), exercise (6%), gardening (6%), walking (6%) and renting movies (6%).

These are the results of a nationwide telephone survey conducted by Harris Interactive® among 1,014 U.S. adults between November 9 and 14, 2004.
