Summer Olympics Poised to Have Record-Low U.S. Viewership

Gallup ^ | JULY 25, 2024 | JEFFREY M. JONES

[MinorityRepublican]

The U.S. viewing audience for the 2024 Paris Games is poised to be the smallest for any prior Summer Olympics Gallup has measured. Thirty-five percent of U.S. adults plan to watch a great deal (10%) or fair amount (25%) of the games, which is down from 48% measured for the 2016 Olympics and figures just shy of 60% from 2000 to 2012.

Gallup has measured viewing intentions for each Summer Olympics since 2000, except for the 2020 Olympic Games that were delayed until 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to the 35% who plan to watch at least a fair amount of this year’s games, 34% say they will not watch much and 30% do not plan to watch any. The latter figure is up from 21% in 2016 and is more than double the 2000 to 2012 readings, which ranged from 12% to 14%.

Americans’ lack of interest in this year’s Olympics is also evident in the 56% who are aware the games are being held in France.

Also consider the Russians aren’t there and they usually field one of the strongest teams.

[mikelets456]

And queers hate sports so there’s only one reason they’re doing this…to create a Godless society.

I hope the Israelis have good security while they are there.

[dfwgator]

I hope the Mens’ basketball team loses every game.

[vespa300]

LOL.......yeah. But she was so good at being so nauseating. Thanks and try to endure. You’ll make it.

[allblues]

Haven’t watched in decades and see no reason to change the pattern, especially after the degeneracy of the opening ceremonies.

[NohSpinZone]

Mocking the Last Supper. This aggression will not stand, man.

[Bob434]

after their opening ceremonies mocking Christianity and the last supper- We won’t be watching this year-

[Political Junkie Too]

One would think that the French would be a little more sensitive to this after Notre Dame was burned down a few years ago.

Israel is there (opening ceremony)

[clintonh8r]

I won’t be watching. Furthermore I hope USA basketball loses in the first round.

[MinorityRepublican]

Other than basketball, don’t give a crap.

Men's basketball team just announced their support for Harris.

[Ge0ffrey]

They made a mockery of Jesus and the Last Supper, and got Coco Gauff and LeBron James to lead the delegation. I think I’ll pass. (Someone tell Coco that Repiblicans watch tennis, too.)

[jeannineinsd]

I am proud to be one of the Americans not watching the Olympics.

[Kenny Bania]

Coco Gauff is a devout Christian. Idiot.

[Ge0ffrey]

Ignoramus, you’re uninformed, and probably a paid shill.

[ViLaLuz]

Olympics perverts mocking Jesus at the Last Supper 😡😤
