Voter Registration Team – Reports & Surveys 2026
01/16/2026 Voter Registration Team Survey Results (MLK Day in Rocklin)
U.S. in Reverse. Which of the following actions of Trump 2.0 upset you the most? Pick one only
| Statement | Most Upsetting |
|---|---|
| Trump’s remarks that he believes civil rights era protections resulted in white people being “very badly treated”. (01/07/26) | 14 |
| Trump’s Day One Executive Order rescinding all prior DEI related executive “orders and initiatives, scrubbing all DEI content” from government websites, dissolving DEI offices at federal agencies and firing anyone remotely connected with DEI, even those who had DEI training of any sort. (01/20/26) | 29 |
| Trump’s Executive Order prohibits federal funds from going to K-12 schools that teach critical race theory (CRT) or gender issues. Note: CRT is usually taught at the collegiate level. Only about 10% of public school funding comes from the federal government. (01/29/26) | 16 |
| Trump’s Executive Order requiring voters to prove U.S. citizenship with very specific rules on acceptable ID. This requirement will have a disproportionate impact on historically excluded communities: voters of color, naturalized citizens, people with disabilities, and the elderly. (03/25/26) | 13 |
| Trump’s Executive Order putting the Smithsonian under Vance’s control in an attempt to ignore the role race and racism played in our nations’s history and stifle the contributions of Black Americans.

| OPERATION “METRO SURGE IN MINNEAPOLIS – Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Kristi Noem has sent thousands of ICE and Border Patrol agents into Minneapolis/St. Paul to enact the Trump administration’s immigration policy. The masked, unidentifiable, heavily armed, and poorly trained agents have killed two protesters, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both American citizens, in recent weeks. Trump’s called for a “de-escalation” but the raids and brutality continue. | Results |

At the World Economic Forum, Trump insisted that acquiring Greenland (a self-governing territory of Denmark) was a “core national security interest” for the US.

Though substantial, the Jan. 30 release fell far shortof the full accounting sought by victims, members of Congress, and the general public. New revelations in this trove included: an organizational chart of Epstein’s “circle” with many names redacted, connections between some famous people and Epstein; a summary of tips received by the FBI in 2025 involoving Trump and Epstein, and a 2007 draft indictment against Epstein for sex crimes he committed involving more than a dozen teenage girls that was never pursed in court. | Results |

Illegal voting, including by noncitizens, is routinely investigated and prosecuted by the appropriate authorities, and there is no evidence that noncitizen voting has ever been significant enough to impact an election’s outcome.” https://bipartisanpolicy.org/article/four-things-to-know-about-noncitizen-voting/ https://www.npr.org/2024/10/12/nx-s1-5147789/voting-election-2024-noncitizen-fact-check-trump |

04/01/2026 War Survey Results
Survey Title – War
| SHIFTING GOALS. Soon after the initial strikes (Feb 28), Trump claimed his goals were about deterring Iran’s nuclear capabilities and protecting protesters. Then he spoke of “Regime Change.” On Mar 6 he posted, no deal except “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.” Now he claims to be negotiating and that the war could end soon. | Results |
|---|---|
| Unconcerned | 8 |
| Concerned | 15 |
| VERY CONCERNED | 25 |
| ECONOMIC FALLOUT. The International Monetary Fund says that due to the war in Iran “all roads lead to higher prices and slower growth.” The closing of the Strait of Hormuz, (blocking the delivery of 25-30% of the world oil supply and 20% of the liquefied natural gas-LNG- supply), and the destruction of infrastructure in neighboring countries has resulted in the crippling of economic growth worldwide. | Results |
|---|---|
| Unconcerned | 5 |
| Concerned | 16 |
| VERY CONCERNED | 24 |
| ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS. Increased toxic pollution (including heavy metals and forever chemicals) from bombed infrastructure has poisoned soil and water resources, posing environmental and health risks that could persist for decades. Countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Japan are turning back to coal generation, which will reverse decarbonization trends. | Results |
|---|---|
| Unconcerned | 3 |
| Concerned | 13 |
| VERY CONCERNED | 28 |
| POSSIBILITY OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND. Neither Trump nor Hegseth (Sec of War) have ruled out the possibility of committing American forces to the war. At present 50,000 US troops are in the region and 2,000 US paratroopers have been deployed. A ground attack would imply a more protracted commitment such as previous engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, despite Trump’s campaign pledge to end “forever wars.” | Results |

| POSSIBILITY OF WAR CRIMES. The U.S. has already mistakenly hit civilian targets in Iran, including a school in Minab, resulting in the deaths of over 100 children. In recent Truth Social posts, Trump has threatened to take out civilian infrastructure, such as water treatment plants, which are clearly banned as targets by international law, and thus may be war crimes. | Results |
