Polling data on Project 2025, including increased opposition and messaging guidance after former President Trump tried to distance himself from it.

Archived version

A majority of U.S. citizens are now hearing about Project 2025. Among those familiar with the Project 2025, just 11 percent view it favorably, while 43 percent view it unfavorably, a 24 point increase in its unfavorable rating since last month.

It has also become significantly more unfavorable since Trump attempted to distance himself from the plan, a survey conducted by Navigation Research finds.

  • More than seven in ten Democrats are aware of Project 2025 (71 percent) and are overwhelmingly unfavorable toward it (net -57; 7 percent favorable – 64 percent unfavorable, with 62 percent very unfavorable).
  • Independents hold net negative favorability ratings of Project 2025 (net -20; 8 percent favorable – 28 percent unfavorable), but nearly two in three still don’t know enough to have an opinion.

In response to a Trump statement that he knows nothing about Project 2025, the following statements were effective counter arguments:

  • Those who say Project 2025 is Trump’s plan for a second term, since nearly all of the plan’s authors worked for Trump and will likely work for him again if he is re-elected, and it fleshes out the extreme MAGA agenda he’s talked about publicly. (net +10; 55 percent agree with this statement more – 45 percent agree with Trump distancing himself more);
  • Those who say Trump’s Project 2025 would be a dangerous, unprecedented government takeover by Trump and his loyalists that threatens rights, freedoms, and democracy by giving Trump powers like no president before him has ever had… that’s why Trump is unwilling to admit it’s his plan. (net +8; 54 percent agree with this statement more – 46 percent agree with Trump distancing himself more); and,
  • Those who say Trump’s Project 2025 would be a dangerous, unprecedented government takeover by Trump and his loyalists that would hurt the middle class and working families, all to help wealthy billionaire donors… that’s why Trump is unwilling to admit it’s his plan (net +4; 52 percent agree with this statement more – 48 percent agree with Trump distancing himself more).

I am an anarchist but I like Kamala as a president. To me she isn’t just better than trump but also biden especially with all the climate shit she is promising. I feel like If she wins the election america might just tske a hard U turn from it’s decline to fascism.

Kamala will be good for anarchists too. Improving material conditions for the worker leads to further improvements, better democracy, and therefore a more free society.

Election years always make me sound like a liberal. Ugh

haha I know what you mean about sounding like a liberal.

As a Mutualist, it feels so weird to be excited for Kamala, but frankly this is the best (feasible) path to be on.

I don’t really mind Kamala Harris too much. She’s pretty progressive for a lib. I can only really complain about her support for Israel, and she’s still better than Biden on that.

American isn’t turning anywhere if people don’t vote down ballot too. Regardless of what the Supreme Court said, the President is not royalty.
