New Poll Reveals GOP Ahead Almost 13 Points, Top Priorities for 2022 Republican-Leaning Voters

 

Over 80% Confident that if GOP Wins in November, They Will Deliver on Promises But Voters Particular about Priority Issues

(Austin, TX—February 16, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted February 2nd through February 6th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.

“It’s clear from this data that Republicans remain far ahead in this race, and if they win, voters believe they will deliver. However, these numbers also spell danger for Republicans. GOP leadership has not laid out clearly what they would do if they are elected, and voters feel very strongly about action being taken on issues from law and order to the border to inflation and the economy,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “If voters get wind that their priorities are not being taken seriously, and lose confidence in Republicans to deliver, these numbers could shift dramatically."
