2025 Idaho Polling

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.

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.
