Majority Of Voters Say Super PACs Have A Negative Effect On Campaigns | As the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling draws near, a majority of voters say they do not like the effect it’s having on American elections. According to a Pew Research Center poll, 54 percent of voters said they knew of the controversial 2010 decision that allowed corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on campaigns through so-called Super PACs (political action committees). Of those who were familiar with the ruling, 65 percent said they think the effect on campaigns has been negative, and only 15 percent said the result has been positive. What’s more, the disapproval was bipartisan, with 60 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats condemning its effects.
