Americans are less supportive of a possible TikTok ban than they were 18 months ago, according to a new survey ahead of a government deadline next year to force a sale or bar the app from US users.

Just 32% of US adults back a TikTok ban, according to survey data from Pew Research released Thursday. Pew found that 38% of US adults supported a ban last fall and 50% were in favor in March 2023.
