NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As we head into the holiday season and turn the corner into 2023, Americans are feeling pessimistic about the political divide and social media's potential to threaten the nation's democracy. The majority also expect political discussions to be excused from the family dinner table. These findings and others are revealed in a new research report released today by Benenson Strategy Group (BSG).
Key Points:
- "No politics at the dinner table" is a common request when families gather around the holidays, and BSG found most are adhering to this guideline.
- A 59% majority of Americans do not talk about politics at all with family over the holidays, and just 6% report arguing with family over politics.
- Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to talk politics with family than their Gen X and Boomer parents and grandparents.
- The survey also shows 70% believe the country is off on the wrong track and 30% say it's headed in the right direction.
