    Taylor Swift approval among Republicans crashes after Harris endorsement: Poll

    There appears to be no “Love Story” between Republican voters and Taylor Swift — the megastar has lost a significant amount of support from her right-leaning fans following her endorsement of Vice President Harris, according to a new poll.

    Roughly 47 percent of Republicans have a negative view of the “All Too Well” singer, an NBC News poll released Friday found. That’s more than 20 points more than last November, when 26 percent of Republicans shared the same dim view of Swift in NBC’s poll.

    While 28 percent of Republicans last year responded they had a positive view of Swift, Friday’s poll found only 12 percent expressed the same warm feeling toward the 34-year-old Grammy Award winner, NBC reported.

    The poll was conducted just days after Swift made headlines by backing Harris’s White House bid.

    In a Sept. 10 Instagram message posted immediately following the debate between Harris and former President Trump, Swift said she was supporting the vice president because “she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”

    “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” Swift wrote of Harris to her more than 280 million followers.

    Positive views of Swift from Democrats ticked up slightly after the performer’s public push for Harris, the NBC News survey found. Fifty-eight percent of Democrats viewed Swift favorably in the September poll, compared to 53 percent last year.
