‘Game of Thrones’ Watchers Don’t Like Trump

May 17, 2019 · 9:00 am ET · Leave a Comment

Ahead of the final episode of Game of Thrones, a new Firehouse Strategies poll finds Donald Trump’s net favorability among the show’s viewers sits at -28, compared to a nearly even -1 net favorability among non-viewers. For comparison, Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden is at -5 among viewers and -6 among non-viewers.

This dynamic is largely reflective of the age demographics of Game of Thrones, which leans heavily towards the 18-49 year old demo.

As for the show’s plot itself, 50% of those watching think Jon Snow will end up on the Iron Throne, followed by Arya Stark at 12%, Sansa Stark at 11%, Daenerys Targaryen at 11%, Tyrion Lannister at 10% and someone else at 7%.
