The defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is all any of us have been hearing about for months. From the long, live streamed days in court to the jaw-dropping confessions, everyone has an opinion — a LOT of whom are on Johnny’s side! After the jury came to a unanimous decision that Amber was guilty of defamation and ordered her to pay Johnny $10.35 million, it seemed like he was back on top!
However, a new survey suggests most folks are actually thinking less of the Pirates of the Caribbean star after the trial! In a recent Morning Consult poll, Depp’s favorability in particular was measured against the public.
The poll yielded shocking results, suggesting that Johnny’s popularity had actually gone DOWN since his big win — by a considerable amount! The 6 week trial gathered data from over 2 thousand Americans, each from different generational groups. The data broke down the percentages of his favorability from April when the trial started to June when a verdict was reached:
Gen Z only saw a drop of 2 points, going from
70% favorability down to
68% Millennials had a slightly larger opinion drop, going from
78% to
72% Gen X dropped 10 points, from
68% to
58% Baby Boomers saw the most drastic decrease, their Johnny Depp favorability went down from
59% to
37% He lost popularity in EVERY group! Among all generations, Americans’ favorability for the actor dropped from 68% to 56%. Wow!
Now we need a poll with Heard as the subject — did her popularity drop after the trial as well? Maybe she gained some along the way? Clearly this trial didn’t paint either of them in the best light…
