There’s a very strong chance that your feelings about Bad Bunny’s halftime performance at the upcoming Super Bowl LX depend on your political affiliation.
According to a new survey by Quinnipiac University, nearly half of respondents said they approve of the decision to have Bad Bunny perform, with 29 percent disapproving and another 24 percent offering no opinion. Feelings come more into focus when it comes to political parties. Nearly 3 in 4 Democrats said they approve of the NFL’s choice, while more than 3 in 5 Republicans oppose the performance.
There’s also a split along age and race. Bad Bunny’s performance is approved by 65 percent of Hispanic respondents and 61 percent of Black respondents, with the singer enjoying a 64 percent approval rating among all respondents between the ages of 18-34. White respondents across the board top out at 41 percent approval. The older the respondent, the less likely they were to be into the idea of the “Dákiti” hitting the Super Bowl stage. Respondents over the age of fifty are all less than 40 percent in favor of the show. See the full breakdown below.
Leading the Republican charge against Bad Bunny is Donald Trump, who has publicly called out the booking as “ridiculous” and “crazy,” adding, “I never heard of him. I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it.” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem also had strong words against the NFL for choosing the singer, saying, “Well, they suck, and we’ll win,” while revealing that ICE will be present at Super Bowl LX.

The artist addressed criticisms about his Super Bowl performance during the monologue when he hosted SNL’s Season 51 premiere earlier this month, telling non-Spanish speakers they have “four months to learn” before the big game happens on February 8th, 2026.
Bad Bunny has a strong supporter in Dropkick Murphys’ singer Ken Casey, who praised the wildly popular Puerto Rican artist as a “true American,” adding, “There’s way bigger problems in the world than who is at the halftime show at the Super Bowl.”
The NFL has also come out to emphasize its commitment to choosing the superstar, with league commissioner Roger Goodell saying, “We’re confident it’s going to be a good show, he understands the platform that he is on, and I think it’s going to be [an] exciting and uniting moment.”
