Bad blood? North Carolina voters turn against Taylor Swift and back Trump after pop star’s endorsement of Harris

Is this a case of bad blood? Or just a question of “look what she made them do”?

Regardless, a new poll of North Carolina voters suggests Taylor Swift’s reputation is in tatters following her era of presidential support.

Victory Insights’ survey of 600 likely general election voters in North Carolina, conducted Sept. 16-18, shows voters in the swing state are in revolt against the Queen of Pop and wish she would stick to songwriting instead of making political pronouncements.

When asked to rate Swift on a scale of 1 to 5, 30% of respondents gave her a “1,” which corresponds to an “extremely negative” reading of the chart-topping singer.

An additional 9% rate her with a “2,” which translates to less extreme antipathy.

The nearly 40 percent share of Taylor haters in the Tar Heel State exceeds their post-endorsement support, and that’s in a poll that included 4 percent more Democrats than Republicans.

31% of respondents have a positive opinion of the pop star even after his appearance on “KHive.”

Nearly as many Tar Heel Staters are apathetic toward Taylor as those who love her: Nearly 30% report being neutral on Swift’s wars.

Swift’s fall from grace is reflected in the fact that Elon Musk — who made an unsolicited offer to impregnate the “childless cat lady” days before this poll was conducted — is more popular than the pop princess in the key swing state: 35% view him favorably and 39% have a negative opinion.

While the polls here are negative for Taylor, they are much more positive for Donald Trump, who leads Harris by 49% to 45% in this poll, a much larger lead than the 0.3% she has in average in the state.

Independents are the ones driving this poll: they favor the former president with 43% versus 27%.

But Trump is unlikely to help North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a Republican running for governor this year.

Democrat Josh Stein leads Robinson 47% to 42%. Undecided Trump voters make up 7% of the sample, suggesting the Republican’s narrow path involves convincing reluctant Trumpists. Only 2% more are Trump-Stein voters, while 0.5% are Harris-Robinson supporters.
