Quantus Insights Poll Shows Plurality of Voters Open to Supporting Musk’s America Party

A poll conducted by Quantus Insights in the days leading up to Elon Musk’s announcement of his new America Party suggests that the party would attract support from a notable share of voters across partisan identities, with a plurality indicating they would consider backing it or its candidates.

The poll, which was sponsored by Trending Political News and first reported by the Miami Herald this month, surveyed 1,000 registered voters between June 30 and July 2. According to its methodology, the survey used a mixed-mode approach involving both SMS outreach and opt-in online panels. The reported margin of error is 3%.

At the time of the poll, Musk had not yet formally announced the America Party; however, he had teased it several times in the weeks leading up to the poll’s release. Voters were asked how likely they would be to support such a party or vote for its candidates if given the opportunity. The poll’s voter profile showed a near-even partisan split among participants, with 34% identified as Republicans, 33% as Democrats, and 33% as independents. Women made up 52% of respondents, while men accounted for 48%.

Quantus found that a plurality of voters would be open to supporting the America Party, with 14% saying they would be “very likely” and another 26% saying “somewhat likely.” A combined 38% said they would not be likely to support the party, with 16% “not very likely” and 22% “not at all likely.” The remaining 22% were unsure.

Among subgroups, male Republicans were the most supportive demographic, with 67% saying they would be either very or somewhat likely to support the America Party. They were followed by male independents at 47%. Male Democrats were the least supportive, with 54% saying they would be unlikely to support the party, compared to 22% who would.

Among women, Republican women were the most favorable group, with 43% expressing support. They were followed by 37% of female independents and 21% of female Democrats. As with their male counterparts, female Democrats were the most likely group to oppose the America Party, with 48% saying they would be unlikely to support it.

In addition to questions about the America Party, the poll also asked respondents about their views on President Trump, their identity as Americans, and the values they consider most important. Full poll results from Quantum Insights are available here.
