Close to half of all Americans think that the U.S. government is hiding information about the existence of unidentified flying objects, or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), according to a new poll from NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ.
The poll, which surveyed 521 Republicans, 559 Democrats, 349 independents and 18 “other” voters, found that 44 percent of Americans believe that the government is concealing UFO information, while 28 percent disagree and another 28 percent are unsure.
Young Americans are particularly suspicious, with 49 percent of Gen Z respondents and 48 percent of millennials believing in government UFO secrecy, compared to just 34 percent of baby boomers.
The poll revealed demographic differences, with 52 percent of Black respondents and 49 percent of Hispanic voters believing in government UFO concealment, compared to 41 percent of white voters.
Political affiliation also influenced beliefs, with 48 percent of Republicans saying the government hides UFO information versus 39 percent of Democrats. Independents aligned more closely with Republicans at 44 percent.
