New POLITICO Poll: MAHA’s Political and Policy Influence

Thursday, April 2, 2026 | 1PM ET

The Trump White House says Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again message is pulling Democrats into the Republican fold, and the Health secretary himself is in the best position of his life to act directly on his criticism of the health and food establishment.

Our latest edition of The POLITICO Poll is perhaps the deepest dive anyone has done so far looking at these issues, exploring where Kennedy’s views align with the electorate, what role MAHA issues might play in the midterms and how people define the MAHA movement. The findings reveal a complex picture about corporate influence, vaccines, animal testing and more.

Join us for an exclusive POLITICO Pro briefing on Thursday, April 2, at 1:00pm ET, to unpack the political and policy implications of MAHA.
