September 8, 2025: Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters favor the ban on TikTok that Congress passed earlier this year, with 24% saying they strongly favor the ban. A Napolitan News Service national survey conducted by RMG Research found 29% are opposed, with 14% strongly opposed.

Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on September 2-3, 2025. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of Registered Voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population. The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
Scott Rasmussen is the president of RMG Research, Inc. and founder of the Napolitan Institute.
