Large majorities in several swing states support many of the policy recommendations put forth by Project 2025, a coalition of conservative organizations.  The reforms were published as the “Mandate for Leadership” by the Heritage Foundation and are a blueprint for restoring the proper constitutional role of the federal government. The project is not affiliated with any candidate or campaign and intended to rally the conservative movement around the broad issue of reducing government overreach and unconstitutional overregulation, specifically by the executive branch.

The poll was conducted by Echelon Insights earlier this month amid a controversial firestorm of lies and wild claims about the policy recommendations in the book. More than 30 independent fact checks have been published debunking various false allegations about Project 2025. The survey took actual policies from Project 2025 and tested them with voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan Montana, Ohio, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The full poll results can be found here.
