Disney has come under fire recently for promoting left-wing cultural
issues. Arguably, the once revered family entertainment corporation has
become an extension of the Democratic National Committee in trying to
dictate policies and reshape the country’s ideals and values. In 2022,
Disney drew the ire of many when it openly opposed Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-
FL) state law prohibiting elementary schools from teaching inappropriate
and sexually suggestive topics. Despite its left-wing activism, more than
half the country still views Disney favorably, according to a recent poll.

A Rasmussen Reports poll revealed that 51% of American adults view the
entertainment corporation favorably, including 22% who “have a very
favorable impression.” Conversely, 40% of respondents had an “unfavorable
opinion of Disney.” This included 21% who said they had a “very
unfavorable impression” of the company. Additionally, Rasmussen found that
this information “has changed little” since a survey the organization did
in March.

BIDENOMICS WAS A MISTAKE

Should these results be considered surprising? Well, that depends on how
one looks at the controversy surrounding Disney.

On one hand, many might be surprised to find that more than half the
country still views Disney favorably. Many reports have shown the company
suffered financial losses because it decided to promote left-wing cultural
issues. The Ringer reported that the company’s stock is at its lowest in
nine years, and it lost $4 billion last year from its streaming company.
Additionally, Disney’s operating margins have decreased by 75%. Those are
devastating numbers for the once-great entertainment company, and it has
undoubtedly suffered for its agenda.

However, the 51% total should not be so quickly dismissed. The fact that
over 50% of the country still views it favorably is probably a sign of the
company’s immense popularity before it was mired in political quagmires.
Other than some misses on some movies here and there, very few people had
anything negative to say about the company. It was an iconic entertainment
institution that nearly everyone arguably loved. It wasn’t until the mega-
entertainment corporation decided to promote left-wing cultural issues
that the House of Mouse began its decline.

It raises the question: What does Disney plan to do in the future? Will
the financial losses and public opinion hits motivate the company to halt
its activism? Or will it play the long game and stay on its current
trajectory, putting its principles and ideals over profit? It remains to
be seen where the company goes from here.
