Fox News
Only a small percentage of Republicans care about celebrities sharing their opinions about politics, while the rest either don't care or disapprove, an AP/NORC poll showed.
Sixty-one percent of Republicans strongly/somewhat disapproved of celebrities speaking out about political issues, while 27% neither approved nor disapproved and 11% strongly/somewhat approved. For Democrats, however, 20% strongly/somewhat disapproved, while 40% neither approved nor disapproved and 39% strongly/somewhat approved. Alexander Hall is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

Much of America is still reeling from a contentious election, to the point where many are apparently burned out on political news altogether.
"Sixty-five percent of adults have felt the need to limit their media consumption about the government and politics due to information overload, fatigue, or similar reasons and half feel the same for overseas conflicts," according to the poll's summary of findings. "Around four in ten adults feel the same way about news on the economy and climate change."
