Morning Poll: Do you prefer going out or staying in on Valentine’s Day?

When we last asked, in 2017, just under 20% of you said you planned to go out for Valentine’s Day that year.

That includes both singles (28.5% of overall respondents) and those in a relationship (71.5% of respondents). Those in a relationship were only slightly more likely to be planning to head out: 20% of those in a relationship said they were going out to 17% for singles.

On this Valentine’s Day, we’re asking a slightly different question: do you prefer going out or staying in on Valentine’s Day?

Surely, some people going to a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner would rather be home with a pizza, while some staying in would rather be out somewhere. Let’s see if these results differ from the previous poll.
