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.

(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 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.
