The State of The Union is Strong Policy Survey

Voters See Clear Improvements in Crime, Immigration and Gas Prices

The Joseph Rainey Center for Public Policy’s February 2026 omnibus poll surveyed 1,008 registered voters from February 25-27, just days before President Trump’s State of the Union address. The survey results reveal broad public support for many of the themes the President highlighted in his speech, from a surging sense of economic optimism and widely recognized border security gains to energy independence, housing affordability, and American technological leadership.
