Majority of Americans say they won’t donate to 2020 presidential campaigns

Political polarization in the U.S. has increased — in the news, social media and out on Main Street. But that is not translating into a major change in willingness of Americans to open up their wallets and pocketbooks and donate to candidates in the 2020 presidential election. Under one-third of Americans have already made donations or say they plan to make donations to presidential campaigns, according to Invest in You Spending Survey conducted by CNBC and Acorns in partnership with SurveyMonkey. Only 8% of Americans have given to a 2020 presidential campaign so far, according to the survey, with an additional 19% of respondents indicating they plan to donate to a candidate but have not already.
