New National Poll Reveals Strong Support for America First Agenda in First 100 Days
Key Takeaways
DON’T BELIEVE THE SPIN
As President Trump and his administration finished their first 100 days in office for the second time, the media, progressives, and biased pollsters went into overdrive pushing a false narrative on the American peoples’ support for his administration and policy agenda.
“It may be the 100-day mark – but it’s also the 10-year mark of these partisan institutions failing to accurately capture nationwide support for America First policies. Despite 92% negative media coverage while taking on the most powerful institutions, President Trump’s America First policies are popular and durable,” said Kellyanne Conway, leading pollster and Chair for the American Child initiative at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI).
Today, AFPI is releasing the results of an exclusive nationwide poll fielded in the days leading up to the President’s 100th day in office.
Our nationwide mixed-mode survey of 1,004 registered and likely voters clearly demonstrates that, despite the constant onslaught of negative media coverage and outright lies, key America First policy priorities enacted by the Trump Administration are broadly supported by the American people.
