Study: Does A Company’s Political Advocacy Affect Consumer Behavior? Yes. But…

That a company engaged in conservative or liberal political activity did not affect Republicans’ opinions of that company, but it did for Democrats.

That means the 33% drop in opinion when Jones Corps engaged in a conservative agenda was entirely driven by participants who identified as Democrats. – Harvard Business Review
