Dedicated To Restoring Our Government to Citizens' Control

Citizens United Releases Membership Presidential Poll Results

Washington, DC — Over the past five days, Citizens United surveyed a cross-section of our membership nationwide to get a sense of where they stand on 2016 at this early stage.

From Friday, September 18th to Wednesday, September 23rd, nearly 5,000 participants took the online poll indicating their first and second choices for President.

“The results are clear. Grassroots conservatives are overwhelmingly rejecting status-quo politicians. A shocking 78 percent of our members polled want a new leader willing to shake-up a broken system,” said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United.
