Mississippi Voters Demand Universal School Choice – New Poll Shows Overwhelming Support

Big news on School Choice this week!  A fresh poll shows massive support in Mississippi to have families, not government, control their child’s education.  Mississippi voters say they’ll reward lawmakers who make it happen.

The brand-new statewide survey (October 27-30, 2025) conducted by The Tarrance Group shows rock-solid support for expanding education freedom.  There is massive bipartisan support across every region, race, and political affiliation. 

Any little cliques that try to derail school choice need to know what they are going to be up against.  Either they can support School Choice and President Trump, or they can side with leftwing teacher unions - and lose, as some anti School Choice lawmakers in Texas found out. 

Here’s what Mississippi voters are saying - loud and clear:

• 86% support parents, not government, choosing the best school for their child (58% strongly).
  Support spans demographics: 87% White, 83% Black, 93% Republican, 83% Independent, 76% Democrat.
• 75% support Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) for all families—no income caps, no district restrictions.
  75% of K-12 parents agree. 83% of Republicans, 73% of Independents, 65% of Democrats.
• 79% are more likely to vote for legislators who expand ESAs statewide and universally (+58 net favorability).
  Even 71% of Democrats say they’re more likely to support pro-ESA lawmakers.
• 78% agree that when funding follows the child, schools become more accountable (35% strongly). 
• 77% support letting dissatisfied families switch schools and take their funding with them.
• Bonus boost: 66% say President Trump’s strong support for universal school choice makes them more supportive (+34 net).

Mississippians see progress and according to the poll, 58% say K-12 education is heading in the right direction - and 65% of parents agree.
