July 24, 2020: As Major League Baseball launches its truncated 2020 season, American voters are evenly divided as to whether they should be allowed to do so. A JusttheNews.com national survey found that 44% think they should be allowed to play while 42% believe professional sports should remain shut down until next year.[1]
Most men (51%) favor a resumption of sports while a plurality of women (46%) are opposed.[1]
More generally, attitudes towards the reopening of sports follow patterns similar to reopening other aspects of American society. Most Republicans (59%) like the idea while most Democrats (52%) are opposed. Independents are fairly evenly divided.[1]
Older voters and white voters are more supportive of re-opening than younger voters and non-white voters.[1]
