Details
| Question | Would you support or oppose the following policy being implemented nationally in the U.S.? |
| Item | Restricting corporate spending in elections |
| Response | Strongly or somewhat support |
| Poll Main Page | YouGov Survey: Policy Support (May 2024) |
| Interview Period | May 7, 2024 to May 10, 2024 |
| Sample Size | 1,177 |
| Policy Context | When this poll was conducted in May 2024, corporations could not make direct contributions to federal candidates, parties, or PACs (political action committees) that contribute to candidates. However, per the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision of 2014, corporations could contribute unlimited amounts to “super PACs” that independently advocate for a candidate or party, such as in advertisements, without the involvement of that campaign or party. So this poll result can be understood as opposition to Citizens United-enabled corporate spending. |
