Tomorrow, the XXII Olympic Winter Games will open in Sochi on Russia’s Black Sea coast. Nearly six-in-ten Americans (58%) say they’re looking forward to the Winter Olympics, making it among the most anticipated 2014 events we asked about.
And while intentions may not always line up with actions, the Olympics finding is in line with the share of Americans who’ve said they’ve closely followed previous Games.
Since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France, the Pew Research Center has covered five summer and three winter games as part of its regular news interest surveys, in which we ask whether people are following various news events and, if so, how closely.
