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.
It also covers so much evil. Banning abortions, banning porn, ending the ACA, ending school funding, ending Trans rights, cutting medicare and social security, on and on and on.
Even if you agree with some of the evil, it has so much that youre going to find something that you don’t like in it.
It’s an easy thing to get consensus across the political sphere because there is so much hate in it.
