A new survey conducted by Whitman Insight Strategies and MRC Data in partnership with DISQO measured the intersection of entertainment, influence and politics among 1,103 likely voters.
The votes are in, and Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson, Oprah Winfrey and LeBron James have the most trusted opinions on political and social issues, according to a new survey of American voters. NBA star James was also cited for doing the most to raise awareness and motivation around voting in the general population and among Gen Z voters, and for having the most trusted opinions among Black voters.
Conducted by Whitman Insight Strategies and MRC Data in partnership with DISQO, the survey polled 1,103 likely voters (48 percent male; 52 percent female) across the United States from Oct. 8-13 to examine the intersections of entertainment, influence and politics ahead of the Nov. 3 election. MRC Data is a division of MRC, part owner of The Hollywood Reporter.
Celebrity influence has long been assessed to determine the impact stars have using their platforms to shed light on issues or persuade the public one way or another. The new study arrives at a divisive time in the United States both culturally and politically as elected leaders grapple with a viral pandemic and calls for racial and social justice against the backdrop of a heated election cycle. It also comes amid widespread if not unprecedented get-out-the-vote initiatives by celebrities. Whitman and MRC Data Researchers asked voters to specify whose opinion they trusted most, as well as name the issues they wanted celebrities to address, such as COVID-19, racial justice, healthcare, climate change, womens rights, income equality and LGBTQ equality.

Yeah, he influenced millions of people to shut off the NBA.
“The votes are in, and Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson, Oprah Winfrey and LeBron James have the most trusted opinions...”
Now, we know that since three of the four are blacks, it can’t be true since the United States is too systemically racist to allow that.
If they haven’t changed someone’s mind, they haven’t really “influenced” anyone. It’s not the same as merely trusting someone you already agree with. I bet Kanye West has probably changed more minds than all those listed in the article combined.
“name the issues they wanted celebrities to address, such as COVID-19, racial justice, healthcare, climate change, womens rights, income equality and LGBTQ equality.”
Wow. What a broad cross-section of American concerns!
Rofl
Does LeBron speak Spanish, so he can influence the legal Latino vote?
Highest employment since when?
