The survey also raises questions about a range of political ideas. The most popular provide a valid form of identification of the photo to be voted (84% of favor against 16% to oppose), prohibiting members of the Congress from negotiating shares (75% of favor against 24% to oppose), prohibiting mobile phones in class K-12 rooms (65% against 34%) and allowing American citizens to vote by mail (63% against 36%).
Voters are divided into the prohibition of the purchase of candy and soft drinks with SnAP funds or food coupons (50% of favor against 49% to oppose it) and are closely opposed to the diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government (46% of favor against 52% to oppose). There is also an important opposition to allow transgender students to use their bathroom of choice (34% of favor against 64% to oppose) and to burn the flags (31% say that this should be legal against 67% illegal).
There is a supporter consensus on several questions, with democratic, republican and independent majorities favoring the ban on members of the congress to negotiate actions, prohibiting mobile phones in classrooms, reflection on the flag should be illegal and require photo identification to vote.
“Contrary to conventional wisdom, the Republicans and Democrats agree on several consecutive questions,” said Republican Sondrier Daron Shaw, who conducts Fox News investigations alongside Democrat Chris Anderson.
“The data also shows that the president does not choose his fights as randomly as some suggest. There is a broad consensus to support the identification of voters and the opposition to the bathrooms of the flag and transgender, questions which invoke patriotism or the protection of our children.”
Trump’s highest approval notes concern its border security treatment (approved at 57%), followed by crime and public security (50%) and immigration (47%). Less approving Ukraine (40%), the economy (39%), Russia (36%), prices (36%) and the cost of living (32%).
Overall, 46% approves the work that Trump does as president while 54% disapprove of, unchanged since June.

Although voters say that burning the flag should be illegal by a wide margin of 36 points, the number saying that it should be legal (31%) is up 10 points compared to 20 years. This mainly comes from the increase in democrats (+17 points), voters under 30 (+11) and independents (+10), as well as a small bump among the Republicans (+5).
Directed from September 6 to 9, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,004 voters recorded at random in a national voter file. The respondents maintained themselves with live interviewers on fixed lines (119) and mobile phones (638) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (247). The results based on the full sample have a sampling error margin of ± 3 percentage points. The sampling error for the results between the subgroups is higher. In addition to the sampling error, the wording of the question and the order can influence the results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education and area variables to ensure that the demography of respondents is representative of the registered electoral population. Sources to develop weight objectives include the American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.
