Nearly 90% of Americans Want Companies Out of Politics and Culture Wars

New Poll Shows Growing Risk for Companies Going “Woke” or Political  

(Austin, TX—May 16, 2022) 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 April 24th through April 27th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.

“The progressive left’s insistence that everybody and everything adhere to their agenda and politics is now coming home to roost,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “When an overwhelming majority of Americans, from all political backgrounds say they are now likely to boycott companies they disagree with, it’s an indicator that regardless of what side they choose to take, this is a losing battle for the companies. Unless they want to be continuously in the middle of a culture war, it’s time for companies to leave politics and activism behind, and return to simply providing products and services to their customers.”
