Four out of five Americans admitted to believing some kind of conspiracy theory, with Republican respondents being more likely to embrace them than Democrats.
Texas, Florida and California residents are among the most likely to be conspiracy theorists, say Americans, according to a recent survey.With less than a year to go until Election Day, misinformation campaigns are rife. These conspiracy theories range from claims of widespread voter fraud to allegations that Taylor Swift is a political operative for the left, and they could have a profound effect on voters' behavior, according to Oddspedia.
Shing Mon Chung, a spokesperson at Oddspedia, told Newsweek: 'Americans seem more likely to endorse conspiracy theories than other nations. The media landscape, which itself is very polarized, can promote the spread of conspiracy theories by reinforcing existing beliefs and biases.'This is even more true for social media – which plays a key role in spreading conspiracy theories because of its global reach and rapid dissemination through one's personal 'echo chambers'.
