But the group believes abortion-rights messaging still has salience. They pointed to recent polling from the Democratic firm Navigator Research that shows pluralities of Americans view banning abortions and cutting federal funding for Planned Parenthood as disqualifying positions.
Whether the stewards of our systems accept it or not, the politics of systemic collapse have returned. Last fall, CNN found that 76 percent of Americans believe the U.S. political system is in need of either “a complete overhaul” or “major reforms”; a similar poll earlier in the year from Navigator Research found 74 percent support for the assertions that America’s political and economic systems need “major changes” or need “to be torn down completely.” This past spring, nearly 60 percent of respondents to an NBC News poll reported feeling that both the American political and economic systems were stacked against them.
The more U.S. voters learn about those practical consequences, the less they support the legislation: While the bill initially enjoys broad support when described simply as requiring proof of citizenship to vote, support falls into the mid-40 percent range (and net opposition) once voters learn that Americans would need to produce documents such as passports or birth certificates to register or update their registration, and that many eligible voters could encounter new obstacles, according to a recent Navigator Research poll.
A recent Navigator Research survey found that many Black Americans question whether the nation’s celebration fully recognizes their history or reflects their lived experience. While Americans broadly view the anniversary as a time for unity, Black respondents were significantly more likely to say the country has yet to fulfill its promise of equality and justice.
A third of Republicans know someone who has used IVF to produce a pregnancy, according to a 2024 poll from Navigator Research.
A separate poll conducted in March from Navigator Research found that 50 percent of voters initially said they supported the bill, while 39 percent said they opposed it. However, after reading messaging against the bill, support dropped to 45 percent and opposition rose to 47 percent.
Surveys released this year from Democratic-aligned firm Navigator Research and progressive pollster Data for Progress back that argument up. In both polls, majorities of voters, including a majority of Republicans, believe there hasn’t been enough accountability connected to Epstein’s crimes and want to see more arrests and prosecutions. In a Navigator poll released in March, the share of Americans who said they believed Trump administration officials should resign over the Epstein matter increased when they were informed about officials in other countries being arrested, fired or forced to resign over Epstein ties.
A survey released Monday by Navigator Research, a Democratic-aligned nonprofit, found that Trump’s authoritarian aesthetics were more than a sideshow and were meaningfully weighing down his already-low popularity levels. They contribute to the public’s belief that Trump is focused on almost anything other than the economic concerns they think should be front and center.
