  • Exhausted' Americans are tuning out politics, according to cable news ratings and recent poll - According to a new AP poll, about two-thirds of Americans have grown exhausted following Donald Trump's election and are now limiting their consumption of political media.

The article from MSN discusses a noticeable decline in American engagement with political news, as evidenced by falling cable news ratings and recent polls. According to the data, viewership for major cable news networks like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News has significantly dropped, with Fox News experiencing a 20% decrease in prime-time viewership from the previous year. This disinterest is attributed to "election fatigue" among Americans, who are feeling overwhelmed by the constant political coverage, especially with the upcoming 2024 presidential election. A recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) indicates that many Americans are tuning out due to the repetitive and often negative nature of political discourse. This trend suggests a broader public desire for a break from the relentless political cycle, with people expressing a need for more positive or less divisive content.
