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.

Here Are Some Of The Policy Issues That Were Favorable Amongst These Voters: 

  • A marriage penalty in the U.S. tax code means many people living together as couples would have to pay higher taxes if they get married. Would you favor or oppose eliminating the marriage penalty? – 49% favor, 43% oppose
  • If someone is physically able to work do you favor or oppose requiring that that person seek a job in order to receive financial support from the government? – 79% favor, 18% oppose
  • Generally speaking, do school choice programs provide better educational opportunities for students? – 48% yes, 24% no
  • Do you favor or oppose education savings account programs that allow tax dollars to follow children to the schools of their parents’ choice? – 65% favor, 23% oppose
  • Should biological males who identify as women be allowed to compete in women’s sports events? – 75% no, 12% yes
  • If a student wants to change his or her gender, name, and pronouns, should teachers and schools be required to notify that student’s parents? – 69% yes, 21% no
  • Should it be against the law to provide children under 18 with puberty blockers, drugs, and/or surgery to help them transition from one gender to another? – 71% yes, 22% no
  • Should public schools teach young children that biological males can become girls and that biological girls can become boys? – 73% no, 16% yes
  • How important is it to secure the southern border of the United States? – 62% very important, 27% somewhat important, 89% total important
  • A proposal has been made that would require all businesses to verify that their employees are legal residents in the United States. Would you favor or oppose this proposal? – 82% favor (with 57% strongly favor), 15% oppose
  • A proposal has been made to eliminate all funding for organizations that transport illegal immigrants into and throughout the United States. Would you favor or oppose this proposal? – 75% favor (54% strongly favor), 19% oppose
  • A budget proposal has been made to eliminate all government payments to illegal immigrants. Do you favor or oppose this proposal? – 77% favor (57% strongly favor), 18% oppose.

(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) — … by Henry Rodgers

“Our polling revealed that vast majorities of Americans in key swing states agree with the key policy proposals found in Project 2025. Americans want common sense and normalcy returned to their everyday lives,” Scott Rasmussen told the Caller.

The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 have no connection with The Trump Campaign. There are a number of former Trump Administration staffers working on the Project but it’s not a Trump initiative.

Earlier in July, the President of the Heritage Foundation Dr. Kevin Roberts clarified the relationship between Trump and Project 2025 in an exclusive interview with the Caller, saying he has a “strong personal relationship with President Trump” and that he presumes that relationship will continue.

“Project 2025 is a reflection of basically the entire conservative movement,” Roberts said. “It’s never intended to speak for any presidential campaign. We want President Trump to continue running a great campaign, it’s actually very important both for the purposes of his campaign and for those of us that lead nonprofits, to have the reminder about that distance.”

The poll surveyed 1,800 voters and was conducted online. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.3 percent.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
