Poll: Only 7 percent of GOP voters like Project 2025
www.motherjones.com
Even self-described MAGA Republicans can't stand it.

Among all voters, the number approving is even lower at 4% and the disapproval is 57%

Even among those who described themselves as MAGA Republicans, it was 9% approval to 28% disapproval

    And yet almost all of them (I’m being generous here) will still obediently vote R in the election. Gotta support the team!

      The GOP Governor of Ohio wrote a NY Times op-ed essay on how nice Springfield is and how the Haitians there are all fine people. He went on to say that he’s voting for Trump.

      when their political affiliation becomes their identity and they got that identity because their parents were republican and their parents parents were republican. there’re already too far gone and have zero critical thinking skills.

    and the remaining 2/3 of the electorate is unsure about depriving millions of americans of basic welfare, equality and security, but it’s probably fine

      Given the stark polling, I’d imagine most of the unsure people likely just haven’t heard of Project 2025 / don’t know what’s in it

        it’s such a weird thing to be on top of foreign politics when people who are the most concerned with the outcome of that vote are oblivious to what’s at stake

            yeah it’s awful. In a good French fashion, I went out on the street to demonstrate against this disgusting party. More and more it feels like that voting alone won’t be enough to safeguard democracy…

        According to the new poll, less than a quarter of those surveyed—23 percent—had never heard of it or were unsure of how they felt. Polling released in July by progressive firm Navigator Research showed that more than half of Americans reported being familiar with Project 2025—double the amount who reported familiarity with it just a month earlier.

        You guys… we live in a post-reading society /hj

          The new poll does not distinguish between unsure of how one feels and never heard of project 2025. (I did dig into the poll document itself too)

          The poll looking at number familiar with project 2025 was months ago from a different poll

            Apologies, I meant to reply to @morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de. Regardless of the unsure/unfamiliar, you have 77% who are sure of how they feel, far from 1/3. Of those, 23/77=30% hate it and 7/77%=9% like it.

            The poll looking at number familiar with project 2025 was months ago from a different poll

            Could the percentage of familiar people have decreased?

              Note that a good chunk of the poll, people selected neutral which may very well still be a “I don’t know much about this”. Familiar can also mean “I have heard the name before”

    Like how bad is this, that even the GOP’s own constituents don’t support what they are pushing?

    This is like ACA repeal. They didn’t learn from their own mistakes… how do these folks even stay in power???
