A new poll has suggested that Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris is losing votes for the Democrat nominee. 

A new post-debate poll from YouGov revealed on Saturday that 8% of voters claimed Swift’s support is either “somewhat” or “much more likely” to convince them to cast their ballot for the Democrat. 

However, a big 20% said they are “somewhat” or “much less likely” to vote for former President Donald Trump’s opponent now that Swift has come out in support of the vice president. 

However, most of the respondents, 66%, said Swift’s endorsement made no difference on how they will vote in November. 

“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,” the Grammy-winning artist shared in an Instagram post with her 283 million followers shortly after Tuesday night’s debate.

“Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make.”

In her endorsement, Swift called Harris “ a steady-handed, gifted leader” who could lead with “calm and not chaos.”

Additionally, 32% of the poll’s respondents claimed the move will have a positive effect on Harris’ campaign, while 27% stated that they don’t think it’ll have an effect either way. 

Furthermore, 41% said the “Love Story” singer shouldn’t publicly comment about politics. 

66% of the poll’s participants said they are not Swifties, while 28% reported being fans and 6% identified as massive fans. 

The “massive fans” were women, and registered Democrats, according to the data. 

Meanwhile, Swift’s endorsement led to higher traffic for the voter registration website vote.gov into Wednesday afternoon, according to multiple reports. 

A spokesperson said 337,826 visitors visited vote.gov after clicking a custom link Swift shared on Instagram.
