A recent survey of 2,000 Americans conducted by Talker Research has revealed that the majority of Americans, 64%, do not want to know the political affiliation of their favorite celebrities. Dr. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist and reality TV consultant, explained that people prefer to view celebrities in a care-free environment separate from politics. In fact, 18% of respondents said they would stop being a fan if they found out their favorite celebrity held opposing political views.
The survey also found that over half of respondents, 57%, do not want to know how their colleagues vote, with 63% considering it rude to ask. However, younger Americans, particularly Gen Z, are more open to discussing politics at work. More than half of respondents believe that people are now more hesitant to share their political views compared to a decade ago.
Generational differences were also apparent in the survey results. Younger Americans were more interested in the political leanings of celebrities and were more likely to stop supporting a celebrity if their politics differed. Lieberman noted that the increase in political polarization and distrust in society may contribute to people being less open about their political beliefs.
Overall, the survey highlights that many Americans prioritize entertainment over political transparency and prefer to keep politics separate from their favorite celebrities. The findings suggest that people are becoming more cautious about sharing their political views in today’s society.
