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 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
For anyone who has a bit of time, I highly encourage volunteering for the campaign. Many of the methods of volunteering are about educating voters
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you
EDIT: looks like you might not be in the US, but still recommend volunteering for progressive parties around you if you can
yeah i’m in europe but it’s a great recommendation, thank you for providing resources!
I felt the same way watching AfD win seats in Germany’s election.
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…
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.
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”
