Corporate Pride Month Posturing Unpopular with American Public
62 Percent Say Businesses Should be Neutral on Pride Month in Wake of Bud Light and Target Controversies
65 Percent Have Boycotted Companies for Taking Cultural or Political Positions
(Austin, TX—June 26, 2023) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted June 5th through June 9th of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“No month better epitomizes the lengths that companies will go to in order to kiss the ring of the progressive left than pride month in June,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “But as we saw with Bud Light and Target, Americans are fed up. And not only is a large majority ready to boycott a company, more Americans are likely to boycott a company embracing the “woke” left vs. a company embracing conservative values. Every corporate board room should be very alarmed at these poll results. While the Wall Street Woke seem to be hell-bent on pushing business to the radical left, American voters simply want businesses to provide products and services and not be a megaphone for political activism—especially radical activism from the left.”
