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.
Didn’t he already disown it? Not that we should rationally analyze such an irrational character
“I don’t even know what Project 2025 is! This sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby.”
“One book, ‘Project 2025 And Me: This Sort of Thing Is My Bag, Baby,’ by Donald Trump.”
I love this comment
He’s trying to distance himself because he knows how unpopular it is, but it’s an outright lie. He’s all in on it.
Slightly easier to read version of the table below that a kind ledditor (?) created recently.

He’s trying to distance himself from it but yeah, almost everything he says is a lie.
Much harder to find truth in his statements than it is lies.
He said he was not involved in its creation (fact it was written by his old staff means nothing ofc /s). He has not refused to implement it generally and complimented several of its specific plans.
