TikTok Usage More Than Doubles Among Young U.S. Adults Nationally, Ban Was Opposed by Majority, New Survey Finds

TikTok Has Had Huge Growth in Usage, Threatened Ban Was Opposed by Majority of Young U.S. Adults

Why didn’t Trump go through with the TikTok ban? Maybe because he knows how popular it is and that it could have motivated some voters to action against him in November.

Our survey conducted this weekend, for public interest, found a majority of young adults in the U.S. oppose the Trump Administration’s threatened ban of the popular TikTok app. And 62% say they use the app, a huge uptick in usage among this demographic in just six months.

When asked who they would have blamed for the ban, 55% say the president.

“We knew TikTok was popular, but having 62% of the 18-24 market is huge. This represents a more than doubling in marketshare since March according to data reported by Comscore earlier this year,” explained Adam Probolsky, pollster and company president. “President Trump already has limited support among younger voters, but their history of turning out to vote is sketchy at best. The ban could have been a motivating factor for younger voters to turn in their vote-by-mail ballots or go to the polls, which could have had huge political implications. We also see evidence from other research that women of all ages are opposed to the ban.”

Trump is Top Choice for Babysitter Among Presidential Candidates in California

/in /by

Sometimes you have to ask the question differently and see if you get a different answer. It turns out, in this case, the voters took our question seriously, too seriously.

“Forty-five percent of California voters say one of the Democratic frontrunners would make the best babysitter. But since there are so many Democrats splitting the babysitting roster, Trump wins,” explained pollster Adam Probolsky “It is also not surprising that nearly 40% of voters are unsure, or more likely uncomfortable with any of them being around their kids.”

This survey was conducted entirely for public interest purposes and not paid for by any candidate or special interest.
