Taylor Swift’s latest push to get her fans to vote seems to be hitting a snag with a particular group of voters.

A recent Monmouth University poll reveals that support for Swift’s efforts to engage voters in the upcoming elections has dropped notably among all Americans, as reported by Fox News.

The survey, released Thursday, shows that only 53% of voters now approve of Swift’s voter participation efforts. This comes after her social media post last week, following the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, where she endorsed Harris in the 2024 race. This marked a sharp decline from a previous poll conducted in February, when support for her efforts stood at 68%.

Back in February, Swift was in the spotlight over a baseless conspiracy theory about her involvement in a covert government plot to help President Biden.

Despite the lack of any truth behind the claims, the noise surrounding it didn’t seem to affect Swift’s voter drive. But now, things appear to be different. Her recent endorsement of Harris, after Biden’s disastrous debate performance and his eventual withdrawal from the race, seems to be polarizing.

While Democrats are holding strong with 87% of them still backing Swift’s efforts—unchanged from earlier this year—Republicans have seen a sharp decline in support. The poll shows that only 20% of Republicans approve of Swift’s get-out-the-vote initiative, down from an already low 41%. Independent voters also seem to be cooling off, with their support dropping from 73% in February to just 52%.

Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, commented on the results, saying, “Republicans were wary of Swift all along. What we don’t know is whether this will have any effect on the part of her fan base who already leans right.”

Swift has a history of encouraging voter participation, and she notably endorsed Biden in the 2020 election. Her efforts brought over 400,000 people to click on the vote.gov link in the 24 hours following her latest endorsement of Harris.

However, it remains to be seen how many of those people will show up at the polls and, more importantly, who they’ll support.

Trump initially downplayed Swift’s endorsement of Harris during a “FOX and Friends” interview the morning after the debate. But by Sunday, he escalated his response, bluntly stating, “I hate Taylor Swift” in a social media post. This comes after JD Vance fired back at Taylor Swift following an unexpected jab she took at him.

The Monmouth poll was conducted from September 11-15, surveying 803 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
