In a Navigator Research survey (Sept. 10 – 14, 2026), 62 percent of respondents said they were concerned about the use of Flock cameras, while 26 percent were not. However, the specific details of voters’ concerns vary widely. Given a list of possible concerns and the ability to choose more than one, no individual issue had more than 33 percent of respondents saying it was concerning, and no issue had fewer than 23 percent. Topping the list of concerns were the collection of information about people without their consent (33 percent) or who have not committed or been suspected of a crime (33 percent), allowing the government to track where people go every day (32 percent), and the risk of hackers gaining access to the cameras or data (31 percent).
Another 2025 survey from Navigator Research found that majorities of voters reported they probably or definitely could not support candidates who are in favor of banning or restricting access to abortion and contraceptives.
Separate polling by left-of-center strategy group Navigator Research found that 81% of Americans believe government corruption is hitting them in the wallet: 86% of Democrats, 75% of independents and 79% of Republicans said corruption is driving up their costs.

So to see where voters really are right now, we’re checking in with Melissa Toufanian, the executive director of the progressive group Navigator Research, which has done interesting polling lately on public sentiment about Trump. Melissa, thanks for coming on.
A new polling memo from Navigator Research being circulated to senior Hill leadership offices this morning is arguing Democrats’ affordability agenda is popular with over 70% of voters they polled, including 55% of MAGA Republicans. And the memo lays out one of Dems’ biggest hurdles: themselves. “Of those who oppose this agenda, skepticism stems from distrust over whether the agenda can become reality – a quarter (25%) say they do not trust Democrats to deliver and a fifth (20%) say they don’t have enough information,” the memo reads.
