New poll shows overwhelming majority of Tennesseans support education freedom 

A new poll in Tennessee found strong support for school choice, with three-quarters of Tennessee voters supporting school choice, and a majority – 56% – strongly in support.  

When it comes to education savings accounts, nearly six-in-ten (58%) registered voters support ESAs. 

Additionally, voters support expanding the state’s ESA program to all families across Tennessee, with two-thirds saying the program should be available to all families regardless of income, and three-quarters saying it should be available to all families rather than limited to select school districts.  

By nearly a 2-to-1 margin, Tennessee voters are more likely to vote for a legislator if they support expanding education savings accounts.
