Support for businesses taking public stances on issues drops: Gallup

OK THIS IS THE ONE I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT AND HONESTLY PEOPLE ARE JUST TIRED OF THE CORPORATE NOISE BECAUSE LOOK, THIS NEW GALLUP POLL SAYS SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES TAKING PUBLIC STANCES ON ISSUES IS TOTALLY TANKING, DROPPING FROM 51 PERCENT LAST YEAR DOWN TO 47 PERCENT NOW, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE COMPANIES HAVE BEEN BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO CURRY FAVOR WITH TRUMP DURING HIS SECOND TERM BUT APPARENTLY NOBODY IS BUYING WHAT THEY ARE SELLING ANYMORE OR MAYBE WE JUST WANT COFFEE WITHOUT THE POLITICAL LECTURE, I DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL MOTIVE BUT THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE, IT IS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO PLAY BOTH SIDES AND IT IS JUST ANNOYING EVERYONE INVOLVED, OK NOW TELL ME I AM WRONG.

SO BASICALLY I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS GALLUP DATA AND IT IS FASCINATING BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SHIFTING HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT BRANDS WEIGHING IN ON CURRENT EVENTS, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT OVER THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE SURVEYED AND THE APPROVAL FOR CORPORATE ACTIVISM IS SLIDING DOWNWARDS AGAIN, AND THE THING IS, THIS HAPPENS WHILE COMPANIES ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO STAY IN THE GOOD GRACES OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SO IT IS LIKE THEY CANNOT WIN EITHER WAY, MAYBE THEY SHOULD JUST STICK TO MAKING STUFF INSTEAD OF GIVING US OPINION PIECES WITH OUR BREAKFAST BECAUSE THE PUBLIC IS CLEARLY LOSING PATIENCE, ANYWAY THAT IS WHAT THE DATA SAYS AND IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO WATCH, OK NOW BACK TO YOUR STORY, SORRY.

A new Gallup poll found that public support for businesses taking stances on current events has fallen to 47 percent, down from 51 percent in 2025.
