MAHA Split On Whether Trump Admin Is Actually Making America Healthy Again, New Poll Shows

Voters — including those aligned with the MAHA movement — are divided about whether President Donald Trump’s administration is doing enough to fulfill his vow to “Make America Healthy Again,” according to a Politico poll released Monday.

The latest Politico poll shows that 41% of respondents who voted for Trump in the 2024 election think his administration has not done enough to actually make the U.S. healthier. Meanwhile, 40% said the administration has done enough to fulfill this goal, and 19% were undecided, the survey shows. 

Among self-described MAHA supporters, 47% believe Trump’s administration has not done enough to make the country healthy again, while 45% said it has done enough and 8% said they did not know, according to the poll. Overall, 52% of voters said the administration has not done enough to improve U.S. citizens’ collective health, compared to 26% who think it has done enough and 22% who were undecided, per the survey.

“The MAHA movement in the campaign cycle started with a lot of energy, and did create more energy for these types of issues that previously wouldn’t have been associated with the GOP,” Abby McCloskey, a GOP policy adviser, told Politico.

“Since then, I think the energy has trickled off from the perspective of, what is the federal government going to do about this?” she added.

Of those surveyed, 47% said they back the MAHA movement, including about a third of voters who voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 and roughly one third of Americans who plan to vote for Democrats in November’s midterms, according to the poll. Meanwhile, 70% of voters who backed Trump in 2024 say they support the MAHA movement, the poll shows.
