survey<\/a>, released Friday, found that 35 percent of respondents prefer the Puerto Rican star\u2019s halftime show, compared to the 28 percent who favor the conservative organizing group\u2019s alternative programming. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBad Bunny will make history on Sunday as the first solo Latin artist to headline a Super Bowl Halftime Show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the NFL\u2019s selection of the rapper for the game\u2019s starring musical performance drew criticism from conservatives over Bad Bunny\u2019s outspoken advocacy for Puerto Rican and immigrant rights. President Trump called the selection \u201cridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortly after the NFL\u2019s halftime show announcement last September, conservative grassroots organizing group Turning Point USA said it would host an alternative performance headlined by conservative artist Kid Rock. The \u201cAll American Halftime Show\u201d will air on the conservative movement\u2019s social media pages at 8 p.m. on Sunday, around the same time that Bad Bunny is expected to take the stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Puerto Rican star has refused to tour in the mainland U.S. because of fears of immigration enforcement operations at his concerts and has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration\u2019s immigration crackdown efforts across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the Grammy Awards last Sunday, the artist joined other celebrities in criticizing the administration\u2019s immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota during his acceptance speech for winning \u201cAlbum of the Year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBefore I say thanks to God, I\u2019m going to say, ICE out,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re not savage, we\u2019re not animals, we\u2019re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total of 55 percent of Republican respondents to the YouGov poll said they would prefer Turning Point\u2019s halftime show, while 13 percent of Republicans said they would watch Bad Bunny\u2019s performance. Of Democratic respondents, 63 percent preferred the Latin rapper\u2019s show, while merely 7 percent said they favored the conservative alternative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More broadly, about a third of those surveyed \u2014 34 percent \u2014 said they are very or somewhat satisfied with Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl\u2019s halftime performance. Twenty-six percent said they are very or somewhat dissatisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The YouGov poll collected responses from two surveys conducted on Feb. 4 and Feb. 5-6. The first survey collected responses from 3,023 U.S. adults and had a margin of error of 2 percent. The second survey collected responses from 7,305 adults and its margin of error was approximately 1.5 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
