In NY and NJ, Columbus Day is like Christmas for Italian Americans, especially on Staten Island and Howard Beach, Queens.

If the holiday is completely scrapped, do you see Italian Americans trending more Republican?

Yes but so what? German-Americans don't celebrate 4/20.

Columbus is not equivalent to Hitler.

Depends on education level obviously. Seems to me like views on Columbus are more likely to be determined by whether you have a college degree than your race.

The voters who are most likely to care about this aren't clustered in any states with competitive statewide races. At that point you're looking at local and congressional races, which are weird and idiosyncratic anyway, and this won't really happen in any consequential volume.

Of course not. There are a lot more important issues Italian Americans care about than Christopher Columbus.

You would be wrong about that.

Yes, and Trump will lock down the Georgian-American vote by promising to declare next December 18 Stalin Day.

WTF As much as Columbus actions have included horrible deeds, can you please stop drawing equivalences between Columbus and Stalin/Hitler?
It feels like those who enter a conversation about monuments/celebrations of slave owners (like say the Jefferson Memorial) by saying "yeah what about Muhammad or Justinian? ?? ?"

Then again, I don't know the answer to original post, and I'm pretty sure that many Italian Americans, especially younger ones, do not care about Columbus in one way or the other, but anyways

Aren't Italian-Americans already trending Republican?  So identifying a trend in response to nixing Columbus Day would be pretty difficult
