Fast forward to today. Both presidential candidates are actively using TikTok to court younger voters. The D.C. Court of Appeals will hear arguments on September 16 for and against the ban.
A new survey from Pew Research finds that the number of Americans who support the government banning TikTok now stands at 32%. That's down from 38% last fall and 50% in March of 2023.
Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are far more likely than Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters to support a TikTok ban (42% versus 24%), but even conservative support for the action has dropped considerably.
Half of Americans think it's very or somewhat unlikely that TikTok will be banned in the U.S. Some 31% say a ban is at least somewhat likely, but just 6% believe it is very likely.
