Late-Night Viewership Declines, But Regular Fans More Likely to Be Democrats: AP-NORC Poll
A recent AP-NORC poll shows about one-third of Democrats watch late-night TV monthly, double the rate of Republicans and independents, reflecting political divides in viewing habits.
- A new AP-NORC poll conducted Aug. 21-25 surveyed 1,182 U.S. adults about their late-night TV viewing habits amid recent controversies.
- The poll followed Stephen Colbert's May show cancellation and preceded Jimmy Kimmel's suspension amid complaints about political bias in late-night comedy.
- The survey found most Americans do not watch full late-night programs regularly but many watch clips, with Democrats more likely to be frequent viewers than Republicans or independents.
- About 60% of adults watched clips, roughly one-quarter watched shows monthly, with nearly half of Democrats but only a quarter of Republicans viewing clips monthly in the past year.
- The poll suggests late-night TV faces audience decline due to politics and streaming options, raising concerns about who will maintain the genre’s role in cultural satire and humor.
