One-third of Americans Say NO! to Political Consultants in the Family
Are political consultants so reviled that families will shun their children that choose the profession? It turns out yes, some will, but more would say, “congratulations.”
This week we feature the results of a new survey. We asked U.S. adults: “If your child or someone close to you became a political consultant, how would you react?”
Older Americans 65+ are most likely to congratulate their kinfolk upon becoming a political consultant. We didn’t ask why, but we suspect it’s because they are just happy they have a job.
So go ahead and join the ranks of the feast and famine class. Join with caution however, since there is a big risk of being shunned, but a better chance you will get a pat on the back, especially from grandma and grandpa.
On the bright side, a full 1/4 of Americans don’t know what a political consultant is, so you can tell them it is a kind of engineer, or psychologist.
This online survey of 1,024 U.S. adults was conducted from February 2-5, 2018 and has a margin of error of +/-3.2%.
