Voters for President-elect Donald Trump were less likely to consider themselves up-to-date on political news compared to their Kamala Harris-supporting compatriots, according to findings from Data for Progress.
The progressive think tank and polling firm surveyed 13,404 Americans ahead of last week’s election for its report out Thursday. The results showed that for the month leading up to the 2024 presidential election (Oct. 5-Nov. 3), 48% of the likely voters were in favor of Trump as opposed to 47% for Harris.
However, when those data points were broken down based on the participants’ so-called news attentiveness, the numbers indicated that “support for Harris decreases as news consumption decreases.”
