Nearly half of American adults support the U.S. diplomatic boycott of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, although nine in ten respondents admitted they’re unfamiliar with the specifics, according to a recent survey conducted by Pew Research Center.

Roughly 46 percent of U.S. adults told Pew that they approve the diplomatic boycott, more than double the 22 percent who disapproved.
