2025 Idaho Polling

Attachment: 4820/Untitled_document.pdf

In a world of bitter polarization, Convention of States
continues to prove its worth as a unifying solution as big as
the problem.

Recent polling from the Gem State reveals that Idahoans
overwhelmingly agree that the federal government is broken. No
surprise there. Washington, DC’s rank dysfunction isn’t exactly a
“well-kept secret.” What may come as a surprise, however, is the
overwhelming support for an Article V convention to address
structural concerns.

In a state where 93% of residents support term limits for federal
politicians and bureaucrats, 90% express concern about the
national debt, and only 8% prefer Washington over Boise when it

comes to policymaking, the Convention of States application has
emerged as a timely response to an otherwise intractable crisis.
While various Article V convention resolutions have been
introduced to the legislature in recent years, only Convention of
States’ resolution would allow the convention to address all three
issues: term limits, ﬁscal restraints, and limits on federal power
and jurisdiction.

For decades, politicians have overseen the rise of an
out-of-control, unconstitutional federal leviathan. Election after
election, they pay lip service to “ﬁscal responsibility,” only to throw
more cash into the blazing ﬁre of impending ﬁnancial collapse;
they vow to ﬁght for “the people,” only to amass more power for
themselves. Every attempt at internal reform has failed. It’s time
for states like Idaho to pursue more sweeping external reforms.

Would you support an Article V convention to meet
and propose constitutional amendments focusing on
term limits for Congress and bureaucrats, federal
spending restraints, and limiting the federal
government to its constitutionally mandated
authority?

When asked whether they would support an interstate convention
under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to “propose constitutional
amendments focusing on term limits for Congress and
bureaucrats, federal spending restraints, and limiting the federal
government to its constitutionally mandated authority,” a
staggering 78% of Idahoans answered aﬃrmatively. Additionally, a
majority of respondents (Republican-leaning) said they would
continue to support the Article V convention process even if the
Chair of the Republican Party in Idaho opposed it.

Would you support using the Constitution’s Article V
convention process even if the Chair of the
Republican Party in Idaho opposed it?

This groundbreaking data shows that the people have soured on
the federal government, abandoning faith in the elite ruling class
to ﬁx the nation’s problems. As Convention of States President
Mark Meckler noted,

“If you’re still waiting for the career politicians in Washington to
limit themselves, it’s time to rethink your plan. Voters in Idaho
have wisely turned to their state to ‘erect barriers against’ the
predations of an over-reaching federal government. More than
three-fourths of all Idahoans say they want an Article V convention.
It’s time for the Idaho State Legislature to listen to their
constituents and pass the Convention of States application.”

Similar polling in states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio attests to
the

nationwide appeal of the Article V solution

. To date, 19 states

have passed the COS resolution for an Article V convention to

propose amendments limiting federal spending, power, and terms
of oﬃce; Idaho is not one of them. To keep up the pressure on
your state to support the movement, sign the COS petition below!
