Most want to keep politics off table

Let’s talk turkey, not Trump.

The majority of American voters hope to avoid discussing politics with family and friends over Thanksgiving dinner, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released Wednesday.

Only three weeks removed from the contentious midterm elections and with partisan battles still brewing in a divided Congress, about 61% of voters say they would prefer to concentrate on anything but politics this holiday.

“Pass the cranberries and dressing, but hold the political vitriol, say voters who foresee a looming Thanksgiving dinner donnybrook,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. “An impossibleto-digest smorgasbord of prejudice and division is served up on a day Americans hope to give thanks for all they have.”
