ICYMI: Poll Finds Overwhelming Majority of Americans “Expect Companies To Speak Out On Voting Rights.” Nearly Seven Out Of Ten Americans Agree “Companies Can No Longer Afford to Stay Silent” On Attacks On Voting Rights

  • April 23, 2021

ATLANTA — With Republican-led efforts to restrict access to the ballot box in state legislatures sweeping across the country, a recent poll found that overwhelming majorities of voters “expect companies to speak out on voting rights, would look favorably on companies that support those rights, and would consider buying a product or using a service from a company that voiced opposition to restrictive voting laws.”

The poll specifically found that “by a margin of more than two to one, voters agreed that ‘companies can no longer afford to stay silent while states work to make it harder for people to vote.’” Additionally, the polling found that more than eight in ten Americans “would be more favorable towards a company if they supported policies to make it easier for Americans to vote and register to vote” — a number which includes more than seven in ten Republicans.

The poll makes clear that – while Republican elected officials in Georgia and across the country chastise members of the business community taking a stand against voter suppression, the American people hold a very different view.
