What do Michigan voters think about Project 2025?

LANSING, Michigan (WLNS) — A recent statewide survey of 600 active and likely voters in Michigan asked respondents if they Agenda “Project 2025”.

Written by members of the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation – including numerous high-ranking officials from the former Trump administration – Project 2025 is a nearly 1,000-page document laying out plans for a future Republican presidential administration.

The document outlines plans to significantly expand the president’s control over federal agencies. The president would be given the authority to fire up to 50,000 officials and replace them with those loyal to the administration’s agenda.

Presidential control over the ministries would enable the government to more easily achieve the goals of Project 2025. The goals include, among others:

• Reduction in corporate tax.
• Repeal the Affordable Care Act.
• Direct White House control over decisions made by Justice Department lawyers and FBI agents regarding law enforcement and prosecution.
• Rename the Department of Health and Human Services the Department of Life and establish a Working Group for Life to create a national abortion database and require states to report the number of abortions performed and more detailed information about each abortion.
• Abolish the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which provides weather, climate and coastal research services, including hurricane tracking.
• The federal government must maintain a definition of marriage and family based on biblical and social science concepts.

In the July EPIC-MRA poll, Michigan voters were asked the following question:

“After hearing some of the policies supported by the Heritage Foundation, which aim, in their words, to ‘…install the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel… (to) take back our country,’ do you agree or disagree with the overall goals outlined in Project 2025?”
