New OKCupid Data on Sex, Politics and Trump

OKCupid has revealed that over 600,000 of its users have made use of the ‘Trump Filter’ feature – a question which simply reads ‘Trump?’ to which users can answer positively or negatively.

90% voted “Hell No” or “No”, while 7% voted “Yes” and 3% voted “Hell Yes”.

New York, Chicago, LA, and the Pacific Northwest were among the regions which used the Trump Filter the most.

Political words and phrases are now featured over 1,000% more frequently in bios than they were in 2015.

Users with such phrases in their descriptions are significantly more likely to get matches and receive messages on OKCupid.

The app recently revealed that out of every 10 of its millennial users, seven would prefer a partner who shared their politics to one who was good in bed.

Their responses favoured politics 15% more than baby boomer and generation X users.
