Putting a Number on Hollywoods Perceived Liberalism

September 2024 · 1 minute read

Seventy-one percent of Clinton voters said they embrace the idea of entertainers taking public political stances, while 68 percent of Trump voters disagreed.

A similar divide is evident when it comes to whether adults think Hollywood is out of step with society.

Forty-nine percent of respondents said Hollywood is disconnected from the general public, compared with 40 percent who said it's connected. Meanwhile, 68 percent of Trump voters said Hollywood is disconnected from the public overall, with 61 percent of Clinton voters saying the industry is in step with the general public.

The polling figures come near the end of an awards season that's included an Oprah Winfrey speech that sparked rumors of a potential 2020 presidential campaign and actors donning black in solidarity with Time’s Up, the Hollywood-spawned limb of the #MeToo movement.
