Project 2025 Ratings Hit New Low

October 2, 2024 at 7:22 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

A new Navigator Research survey finds 50% of Americans now rate Project 2025 unfavorably and a majority oppose the plan.

Among Americans who have heard about Project 2025, they most associate the plan with abortion bans, immigration restrictions, and eliminating the Department of Education.

Key takeaway: “Pluralities continue to believe that Project 2025 accurately describes what Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress stand for.”
