More than a quarter of Americans say they don’t care who wins the presidential election but just want it to end, according to a Talker Research survey released Tuesday.
The poll found that 28% say they want the election to end regardless of the result. A quarter of the respondents, 25%, said they avoided interacting with certain relatives or friends in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Among millennials, 34% said they avoided relatives and friends as opposed to 17% of baby boomers.
People also looked to dodge the election in the workplace, with 29% saying they avoided co-workers and 25% saying they were trying to avoid arguments. About 10% of respondents skipped work on Tuesday, with 5% taking off Monday.
While polls have registered a gender gap when it comes to which candidates men and women prefer, another gap appeared in the Talker Research survey. While 34% of men reported being concerned with how the nation will receive the results of the election, only 13% of women shared similar concerns.
Women were likelier to avoid talking about the election, with 20% of women feeling that way and 14% of men feeling the same, according to the survey.
The firm polled 1,000 Americans online, 400 from each of the two major parties and a mix of 200 independents and third-party voters from Nov. 1-4.
