Battleground voters across the U.S. like a lot of the ideas in Project 2025 when they hear what is inside of it, according to a new poll obtained by the Daily Caller.
As Democrats have been trying to tie Project 2025 to former President Donald Trump and been heavily criticizing the ideas in it, with people such as President Joe Biden saying it will “destroy America,” polling conducted for The Heritage Foundation by nonpartisan, public opinion pollster RMG Research, INC. shows voters in battleground states actually like many of the ideas Project 2025 has put forward.
The poll was conducted between July 23-July 24 with voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada.
