Is Politics Ruining Your Relationships? Part 2

About this episode

The episode discusses how political differences are affecting personal relationships among Americans.

Is politics ruining relationships in your life? How so? A recent study done by PNAS Nexus found that 37% of Americans reported losing a relationship with a friend, family member, romantic partner, or coworker because of political differences. That’s roughly four in ten adults who say politics ended a relationship in their life. We continued the topic and asked you how politics have impacted the relationships in your life.
