Poll: Many in US fans of MJackson
Posted on: Friday, 3 July 2009, 10:45 CDT
Results of a recent poll indicate a slight majority of US residents see themselves as fans of the late pop music star Michael Jackson, CNN reported Friday.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation telephone poll of 1,026 U.S. adults taken shortly after the so-called King of Pop's death, found 51 percent of respondents described themselves as fans of the Thriller
star, who died last Thursday.
Polling officials said 75 percent of non-white respondents identified themselves as Jackson fans, while a majority of white respondents did not back the late singer.
Most women say they are fans of Michael Jackson; most men do not. Most young people say they are Jackson fans, but a majority of Americans over 50 don't,
says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said of other demographics in the June 26-28 poll.
Older Americans didn't 'get' Michael Jackson. They were probably offended by his defiance of cultural norms. Younger people got him,
CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider said.
The survey had a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percent.
