Pulse: Most Americans have refrigerator magnets

(CBS News) More than eight in 10 Americans -- 87 percent -- have magnets on their refrigerator, according to a recent CBS News Poll, including more than half who keep five or more magnets on their fridge.

The number of refrigerator magnets reaches double digits for some. Thirty percent of Americans say they have more than 10 magnets on their refrigerator; 24 percent have between five and 10, while a third have fewer than that, including 6 percent who have just one on their fridge.

Refrigerator magnets hold little appeal for 12 percent of Americans -- they don't keep ANY magnets on their refrigerator.
