George Clooney hardest hit.

For all their visibility along the campaign trail, A-list celebrities hold little sway over the way Americans vote, an omnibus poll for CBS News and Vanity Fair magazine has suggested.

Eighty-nine percent of respondents said celebrity endorsements of a particular candidate made no difference to them when it came to putting an X beside a name in the voting booth.

Three per cent even said a celebrity endorsement would make them less likely to favor a candidate. Just 2 per cent said they were more likely to favor a hopeful on the basis of a celebrity’s thumbs-up.

In a statement, CBS News said pollsters contacted a random sample of 1218 adults across the United States by telephone from August 22-26, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
