A new poll reveals a partisan divide in how Americans view celebrities and athletes sharing their political opinions. Democrats are more likely to approve of these endorsements than Republicans and independents. Additionally, the poll highlights a growing trend among Americans to reduce their consumption of political news due to information overload, fatigue, and concerns about the economy and climate change.
, a collaboration between the Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s nonpartisan National Opinion Research Center, was published Thursday.
The answers regarding professional athletes were about the same — 39 percent of Democrats approve of them piping up, but just 16 percent of Republicans and 15 percent of independents were in agreement. The poll also found that Americans are trying to reduce their media consumption about government and politics, with 65 percent of respondents saying they felt that way due to “information overload, fatigue, or similar reasons” and 50 percent saying they feel the same due to overseas conflicts.
