In a recent poll, it has been revealed that the majority of Americans are not interested in hearing political opinions from celebrities. This comes as a significant shift from previous years, where the left relied heavily on Hollywood celebrities to advocate for their political agenda. During the Obama administration, celebrities were often seen endorsing and supporting Barack Obama, creating a strong association between Hollywood and the Democratic party.
However, this trend did not continue in the recent Kamala Harris campaign, where celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Lizzo, and others failed to garner support for the Democratic candidate. Voters were quick to realize that these celebrities were not facing the same issues and challenges as average Americans under the left’s policies.
According to a recent AP-NORC poll, it was found that only 40% of Democrats approved of celebrities sharing their political views, while a mere 11% of Republicans and 12% of independents felt the same way. Similarly, the approval ratings for professional athletes voicing their opinions were also low among Republicans and independents.
This shift in public opinion is a stark contrast to the past, where Hollywood liberals were vocal in their opposition to President Trump. In a cringe-worthy moment after the 2016 election, a group of celebrities even pleaded with the Electoral College to overturn the election results, a move that did not sit well with many Americans.
Fortunately, it seems that the era of celebrities trying to influence politics may be coming to an end. The American people are now making it clear that they are not interested in what celebrities have to say about political matters. This change in attitude is a positive sign for democracy, as it shows that voters are more focused on policies and issues that directly impact their lives rather than celebrity endorsements.
