    BENTONVILLE, Ark., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wal-Mart (NYSE:   WMT)
 released the following statement on a new poll conducted by the Pew Research
 Center for the People & the Press showing an overwhelming majority of
 Americans have shopped with Wal-Mart this year and have a favorable opinion of
 the retailer:
     "This poll proves that working families believe Wal-Mart is a good place
 to shop and a valued member of the communities we serve," said Sarah Clark,
 Wal-Mart spokesperson. "Taken just last week, it also shows that the union
 leadership's multi-million dollar negative attack campaign is having no impact
 on our business or our customers."
