POLL: 84% of Voters Say Keep Politics out of the Super Bowl LVII
Overwhelming Majority Says Political and Cultural Statements Not Welcome During Game’s Coverage, only 10% Disagree
(Austin, TX—February 07, 2023) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted February 2nd through February 5th of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“Sporting events in America have always been a place where Americans could come together and celebrate inspirational moments and find unity, such as 1984 USA men’s hockey team victory, or the singing of the national anthem in Yankee Stadium after the attacks on 9/11,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “But the radical left’s obsession with making all aspects of American life subservient to their politics has found its way into our national pastimes, as they find new ways to divide us from our neighbors. The good news is the American people have had enough and are showing that they are ready to move past this obsession with woke politics and the stain it put on our nation.”
