Super Bowl 50: What Motivates Millions Of Americans To Watch, And Do Elephants And Donkeys View The Game Differently?
With just five days left until the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos face off in Super Bowl 50, a new survey of approximately 1,200 investors from Spectrem Group’s Millionaire Corner reveals some interesting differences by gender, age and political party behind why viewers watch America’s iconic sporting event.
Reasons for watching the Super Bowl
While nearly half of respondents (48%) say their main reason for watching the Super Bowl is to see the game, this rises to nearly 60% among Republicans (56%). By contrast, just 39% of Democrats indicate they watch the Super Bowl for the game and more than a quarter (26%) don’t watch the Super Bowl at all.
Roughly six in ten men (61%) say they watch for the game. By contrast, women responded twice as often as men that they watch for the commercials (24% for women, 11% for men). At 18%, Democrats also outpaced Republicans (16%) and Independents (15%) in saying they watch the Super Bowl for the commercials.
