Americans divided on TikTok ban even as Biden campaign joins the app, AP-NORC poll shows

(AP)—-President Joe Biden’s campaign is embracing TikTok to court younger voters ahead of the presidential elections, but U.S. adults have mixed views about whether the video-sharing app should even operate in the country.

A new poll by The Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds a three-way split when it comes to banning the app. The poll shows 31% of U.S. adults would would favor a nationwide ban on TikTok use, while 35% say they would oppose that type of action.

An additional 31% of adults say they neither favor nor oppose a ban on the social media platform, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance. Among those who use TikTok at least daily, a national ban would likely be highly unpopular: 73% say they oppose it.
