There are very few political issues that are truly bi-partisan, however raising the minimum wage is by far the one issue that Republicans and Democrats can agree on. In a February poll from UNH, they found that 76% of Granite Staters support raising the minimum wage. In the same survey 63% of Republicans and 78% of Democrats supported the NH minimum wage increase. Even 50% of those people who support the TEA Party supported raising the NH minimum wage.
I cannot think of any other issue that has such high support by the people, except background checks on guns sales (91% support), that some politicians continue to reject.
In spite of strong bi-partisan support, Senator Scott Brown will not say whether he supports raising the minimum wage. Twice in the last week Brown was confronted by real Granite Staters who asked him straight out if he supported raising the minimum wage. This is a key issue because the Senate held their first (of many) votes to overcome the GOP filibuster on raising the federal minimum wage.
