Gov. Kristi Noem: If you are using TikTok you are helping China destroy America
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem reacts to VP Kamala Harris refusing to comment on TikTok on 'Hannity.'
As a majority of voters have national security concerns over Chinese-owned TikTok, half support the U.S. government banning the social media app.
The latest Fox News survey, released Monday, finds 51% of voters favor banning TikTok while 41% are opposed.
Very conservative voters (71%), White evangelicals (63%), Republicans (62%), voters ages 65 and over (60%), and White men (55%) are among those most likely to favor a ban while Democratic women (40%), very liberals (35%), and voters under 30 (33%) are less supportive.
In general, 55% of voters are extremely (25%) or very concerned (29%) about TikTok’s ties to China while 42% are not very (30%) or not at all (11%) worried. Those views are mostly unchanged since March.

"Unsurprisingly, the main dividing line on banning TikTok is age," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw who conducted the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. "Younger Americans like what TikTok has to offer, whereas older people see only the threats."
