Poll: Americans Say Baskin-Robbins Has the Best Ice Cream

Atlanta, Ga. – February 16, 2012 – You scream, I scream and we all scream for Baskin-Robbins ice cream?

Poll Position wanted to know which ice cream store chain Americans think sells the best ice cream and in a national scientific poll found Baskin-Robbins was tops with 20% of the vote, followed by Cold Stone Creamery (15%), Dairy Queen (14%), Ben and Jerry’s (14%), Haagen-Dazs (8%), Bruster’s (3%) and some other store (7%). Nineteen percent of those polled expressed no opinion.

Along party lines Baskin-Robbins was again the choice of Republicans (20%), Democrats (23%) and Independents (17%).
