Students sitting at computers for sports pollingThe most recent findings of the Seton Hall Sports Poll were featured in The Washington Post (twice), The New York Times, USA Today (twice), Forbes (twice), Yahoo Finance (in the U.S., New Zealand, Philippines and India), the Miami Herald, Kansas City Star, Sacramento Bee and hundreds of other regional news outlets and radio and TV stations across America.

The poll was also featured on Twitter, with Tweets from Boston Radio Watch, WRAP.org, a public-private partnership based in Washington working to prevent drunk driving and underage drinking, and by sports business analyst Darren Rovell (two million followers).

The poll itself queried the public on matters related to the Super Bowl, including the impact COVID-19 will have on the game and viewership and Super Bowl watch parties; the impact that a coronavirus vaccination might have on indoor and outdoor sporting event attendance; and gambling related to the big game and the rise of legalized sports betting in states across the nation.
