(Austin, TX—Aug 9, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted July 29th through August 1st of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“Republicans, Independents, and many Democrats are watching with horror as Washington, D.C., pursues anti-freedom policies that are destroying the fabric of the nation they love. It is also clear that Republican primary voters have almost no confidence in Congressional Republicans to fight for them and stand up to a power-hungry federal government,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “We are seeing a surge in trust for Republican Governors and State Legislatures because leaders like Ron DeSantis—who performed strongly in one of our other polls—are taking a stand. The framers of the Constitution designed our system to operate this way. We are seeing rising momentum for a Convention of States that will return Washington, D.C., back to its original, strict limits and put states back in charge.”
