Project 2025's Unpopularity Continues to Grow: New Poll

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025's unpopularity has continued to grow among voters, according to an NBC News poll published on Sunday.

Last year, The Heritage Foundation , a conservative think tank, in collaboration with other right-leaning groups, published its Project 2025 document. According to its official website, the project aims to "pave the way for an effective conservative administration" by using "a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook," should the GOP win this year's election.

The new survey shows 57 percent of voters view Project 2025 as unfavorable, with only 4 percent seeing it as favorable. The poll with a sample of 1,000 registered voters was conducted between September 13 to 17 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Sunday's polling comes as the 2024 election draws closer in which former President Donald Trump , the GOP presidential nominee, and Vice President Kamala Harris , the Democratic presidential nominee, will face off in November.

Proposals within Project 2025 include reintroducing legislation making it easier to fire federal workers; prosecution for distributing abortion pills by mail; and abolishing recently established diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at the Department of Defense (DOD). However, one of the most significant proposals is a plan to reintroduce Schedule F, a Trump-era executive order rescinded by President Joe Biden that would see tens of thousands of federal workers reclassified, making them easier to fire.

While Trump has repeatedly denied having any relation to the document, Project 2025's 900-page proposal was drafted with input from a long list of former Trump administration officials who are poised to fill the top ranks of a potential new administration, according to the Associated Press.
