The soccer occupies the fifth place in the preferences of the American public who sees sports for television, according to a survey. This result is an improvement of two positions with regard to a made similar consultation two years ago.
According to the Gallup survey, the favorite sport that is seen by television in the United States is the American soccer (41 %), followed by the baseball (10 %), básquetbol (9 %), hockey in ice (4 %), soccer (3 %), motoring (3 %), golf (2 %), I box (2 %), you dye (1 %), artistic skating (1 %), gymnastics (1 %) and vóleibol (1 %).
These results are based on an annual interrogation of life styles that the corporation realized from December 4 until December 7 between little more than thousand persons.
Jeffrey M. Jones wrote, in the presentation of the survey about that Gallup asked for the first time on “favorite sports” the American public in 1937, that the baseball was immensely popular in this epoch, continued over a distance by the American soccer. Today the things have changed a little.
Three decades later, in 1968, the American soccer went on to the first place and it has been supported there since then.
Gallup, which realizes this type of survey regularly from 1990, does not mention major precedents of the soccer because it centers his comments on the first three favorite sports of the public and on the form in which the básquetbol was supported with difficulty in the third place.
In a similar survey of December, 2006, the soccer was finding in the seventh place under the American soccer, básquetbol, baseball, motoring, golf and artistic skating.
Gallup says that after showing a modest upturn in the 90 and part of the current decade, the básquetbol has fallen down in the preferences of the American public. 9 % who considers the básquetbol to be his favorite sport is the lowest from 1981, when the sport began arising due to the players' protrusion as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and later Michael Jordan.
The American soccer has his principal public between the young people younger than 40 years (more of 40, but the baseball has the biggest preferences between the persons older than 65 years (33 %).
