Seven in ten U.S. adults want to avoid political talks with family during the holidays, a new survey shows.

A survey by the American Psychological Association shows that 72% of U.S. adults want to avoid political discussions with family during the holidays. While 65% are not worried about political talks harming their relationships, 39% are stressed by the possibility. Nearly 38% say they will avoid family members with differing political views. The study also found that younger adults are more likely to skip family gatherings to avoid disagreements. Despite the tensions, most adults believe the holidays are a time to set aside political differences and focus on family.
