🚨The results of the 2025 Turning Point Action America Fest Straw Poll are in. Thread.

Vice President JD Vance won the 2028 nomination straw poll in a landslide, garnering a MASSIVE 84.2% of support, followed by Sec. Marco Rubio (4.8%), and Ron DeSantis (2.9%).

We also asked about President Trump's cabinet, and they remain broadly popular with the base.

The top three most popular cabinet secretaries are Sec. Pete Hegseth (83.3% strongly approve), Sec. RFJ Jr. (80.3% strongly approve), and Sec. Marco Rubio (78.6% strongly approve).

We also polled attendees views on Israel. A clear majority view Israel as one ally of many (53.4%), about 1/3 of attendees see Israel as our top ally (33.3), while 13.3% do not view Israel as an ally at all.

We also asked if attendees would be in favor of an immigration moratorium?

Nearly 90% of attendees said yes. Truly an incredible result.

Asked about the top threats facing America, respondents ranked the top six issues as:

1) Radical Islam (!!)
2) Socialism / Marxism
3) Mass Migration
4) Economy / Affordability
5) Corrupt Courts
6) Election Integrity

Asked what the Trump administration's top accomplishments are so far and two answers stand out far above all the others:

1) Securing the border
2) Mass deportations

Finally, asked what conservatives should be most focused in going into 2026, and "winning the midterms" dominated above every other answer (63.9%), followed by voter integrity / voter ID (9.3% and affordability (8.1%).

It's also worth nothing that this straw poll received the largest number of responses of any strawpoll in our organization's history, representating a statistically significant response rate. It's also the youngest average age of a respondent from any AmFest, ever.

A HUGE shoutout to @Peoples_Pundit for conducting this poll on behalf of @TPAction_

I believe there are some truly important results here that will help the base find the dominant center of where the grassroots movement is ahead of 2026.
