A new survey by yes. every kid. foundation. reveals just how important education freedom is to Republican primary voters across South Carolina.
While nearly nine-in-ten (87%) likely Republican primary voters support school choice, fully 73% said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate in the Republican gubernatorial race who prioritized giving K-12 families more choices in how they can educate their children.
The survey also found:
- 72% of likely Republican primary voters said President Trump’s support of universal school choice makes them more likely to choose a governor who supports universal school choice.
- 79% of likely Republican primary voters in the state support South Carolina’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund Program.
“This survey is further proof that education freedom is a winning issue. Republican primary voters across South Carolina are evaluating candidates with an eye toward giving K-12 families more options and control in how they can educate their children. Candidates for governor should take note.”
Matt Frendewey, vice president of strategy, yes. every kid. foundation.
