The right-wing agenda gets less popular the more voters learn about it, a new poll shows.
New polling out on Tuesday suggests that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s best hope for Project 2025, the far-right policy agenda that at least 140 of his former administration officials helped craft, was that most Americans would remain unfamiliar with it.
Over the past month, though, a growing number of voters have learned more about the 900-page plan spearheaded by the right-wing Heritage Foundation—and public opinion of the agenda has plummeted as it’s become more widely known.
…
Just 11% of people polled viewed the agenda favorably, while 43% had unfavorable views—a 24-point increase since June.
Which is why I find it terrifying that people say trump has no policy.
If they said “trump has no policy solution to problems the masses want to see solved” they’d be absolutely right. But I never see it worded that way. In fact, previous to project 2025 almost no one seemed to think there was any coherent direction to his actions. And yeah I get it, he failed on things like the wall. But he also did a lot of anti-immigrant, anti-women, and anti-democratic things which should never be forgotten.
