Recent polling results from Rasmussen Reports show that a majority of voters support a major overhaul of state voting rolls. In a post on X, Rasmussen shared the responses from voters when asked whether they would support their state conducting an audit of voter rolls and removing all non-citizens.
The results were overwhelmingly in favor of the proposed action, with 78 percent of respondents supporting it. Among respondents, 56 percent said they strongly supported conducting audits, while 22 percent said they would “somewhat support” the move. A much smaller share of respondents opposed the measure: 10 percent were somewhat opposed, and 7 percent were strongly opposed.
When broken down by party, the results showed a majority of support for the measure from both Democrats and Republicans. According to Rasmussen, a clear majority of Democratic respondents favored audits, with 66% supporting them. The level of support was even higher among Independents and Republicans. Independent respondents supported audits at 83%. GOP respondents ranked highest in approval, with 86 percent supporting audits.
The results show strong alignment in public sentiment with the Trump administration’s agenda of promoting election integrity. Since President Trump’s return to office, the DOJ has prioritized the identification and removal of noncitizens from voter rolls, focusing on states that have a record of noncompliance.
The actions of the DOJ originate from an executive order signed by President Trump last year, directing the Department to focus on assisting states in ensuring election integrity and maintaining the accuracy of voter registration records. The DOJ is conducting an examination of voter rolls and requesting information from individual states on election and record-keeping practices. According to the DOJ, accurate voter rolls are the foundation of election integrity and will remain a priority of the Trump administration.
