Poll finds nearly 1 in 5 believe Taylor Swift election conspiracy
Newsy
Data found a significant portion of the American public has heard the conspiracy theory that the pop star is part of a government election scheme.
A Monmouth University poll found that almost 1 in 5 Americans believe an election conspiracy theory that Taylor Swift is part of a government cover-up to sway voter favor to help President Joe Biden win a second term in office.
The poll results, published this week, also found that 2 in 3 Americans approve of Swift's efforts to encourage more voters to show up at the polls and cast their ballots in the 2024 presidential election. The poll found that many who believe Swift is part of an elaborate government plot to sway the presidential election also believe the outcome of the 2020 presidential election results were fraudulent.
According to the poll data published online by Monmouth University, almost 46% of Americans who responded said they were aware of the Swift conspiracy theory and 18% of Americans said there was an alleged effort to help President Biden.
The poll found that out of the poll respondents who believe in the conspiracy theory, 71% of them said they are affiliated with the Republican party or lean in favor of the GOP.
In early January, a Fox News report by host Jesse Watters pushed the so-called Swift PsyOp conspiracy theory further into the mainstream when, as Politico reported, he strongly suggested the pop star could be acting as a front for a "covert political agenda."
