Fox Business • • nation
Key Points:
- The Harvard-Harris CAPS poll, surveying 2,745 registered voters with a balanced party split, indicates strong public support for President Trump and the Republican Party on key issues like the economy, immigration, healthcare, and Iran.
- On Iran, 74% of voters believe the U.S. is winning, support preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and approve of the blockade, contrasting with mainstream media narratives and highlighting a potential political vulnerability for Democrats.
- Despite concerns about affordability and the economy, 53% of respondents trust Trump and Republicans more than Democrats (47%) to manage economic issues, challenging common media assumptions blaming Republicans.
- Issues such as open borders and voter ID show significant public perception that Democrats favor open borders (58%) and oppose voter ID laws (65%), with Republicans viewed more favorably on these topics.
- The poll shows a 50-50 split in the congressional race, suggesting a closer contest than media coverage implies and indicating potential underestimation of Republican support ahead of the midterm elections.
