A poll shows a significant decrease in support for Taylor Swift's get-out-the-vote campaign among a specific voting demographic.
After Swift endorsed Harris in her 2024 White House race against Trump, a poll was conducted.
A recent poll indicates that Taylor Swift's campaign to motivate her fans to vote in the upcoming elections is losing support among all Americans.
A Monmouth University national survey released on Thursday found that 53% of voters approve of Taylor Swift's voter encouragement efforts, which she posted on social media after the first and final debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump.
In her social media post, Swift also supported Harris's bid to become the next president of the United States.
In February, a Monmouth survey found that support for the pop star's voter participation efforts had dropped by 15 points from 68%, coinciding with the time when Swift was under scrutiny for a false rumor about the presidential election and the Super Bowl.
At the time, a baseless conspiracy theory circulated that Swift was secretly working with the government to aid Biden's re-election campaign.
For years, Swift has encouraged her fans to vote and in the 2020 presidential election, she endorsed Biden.
Biden suspended his re-election campaign after a poor debate performance with Trump in June, and Harris took over as the Democrats' 2024 presidential candidate two months later.
The new poll shows that while Democrats' support for Swift's voter participation efforts remains high at 87%, Republicans' support has dropped from 41% to 20%, and independents' support has fallen from 73% to 52%.
The poll's release by Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray revealed that Republicans were cautious about Taylor Swift all along. However, it is unclear whether this will impact the portion of her fan base that already leans right.
In the 24 hours following Swift's endorsement of Harris and a link to the voter registration website, over 400,000 people clicked on the vote.gov website. However, it is uncertain how many of these individuals will ultimately vote and whom they will support in the presidential election.
In a "Fox and Friends" interview the day after the debate, Trump initially dismissed Swift's endorsement of Harris.
On Sunday, Trump increased the heat with a social media post stating "I detest Taylor Swift."
A Monmouth University poll was conducted from Sept. 11 to 15, involving 803 registered voters nationwide. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
