About 10% said they had no opinion, and 8% said ESPN does not cover enough politics in its programming.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/iger-espn-s-eyes-wide-open-412742" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/news/iger-espn-s-eyes-wide-open-412742">Related > Iger: ESPN’s Eyes Wide Open</a><br/><br/>ESPN said the survey found that the portion of viewers who see political bias in ESPN programming is unchanged since the survey was last conducted in October 2016.<br/><br/>Since the presidential election, numerous press reports have tied ESPN's declining subscriber count and lower ratings for its studio shows to a left-wing bias, indicated in part by the number of women and minorities it employs as anchors.<br/><br/>In May <a href="http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/currency/republican-viewers-tuning-out-espn-deep-root-says/165773">a study</a> by research company Deep Root Analytics that found that Republican viewers were disproportionately tuning out ESPN.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nexttv.com/blog/live-sports-still-score-big-time-cable-412697" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/blog/live-sports-still-score-big-time-cable-412697">Related > Live Sports Still Score Big-Time on Cable</a><br/><br/>In a <a href="http://www.espnfrontrow.com/2017/06/espn-research-bias-viewership/">blog post</a>, ESPN said its study found that of those who see a bias, 30% said ESPN expresses a conservative viewpoint. And those who identify themselves as conservative or Republican rate ESPN higher than in October.<br/><br/>ESPN also noted that in 2016, for the third straight year, it was the highest-rate full-time cable network among adults and men in the 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 age brackets.</p>
