Questions - Gerrymandering - August 11-13, 2025

National Survey of 1,184 U.S. Likely Voters
Conducted August 11-13, 2025

By Rasmussen Reports

1* How serious of a problem is it when states deliberately draw congressional districts to favor one party?

2* The practice of drawing congressional districts to favor one party is sometimes called “partisan gerrymandering.” Which party is more likely to engage in partisan gerrymandering, Democrats or Republicans? Or do both parties engage in partisan gerrymandering about equally?

3* In the 2024 elections, Republicans got 45% of the vote in Illinois but hold only three of the state’s 17 U.S. House seats, which is 18% of the total. Does this kind of result undermine American democracy?

4* Texas plans to redraw its congressional district map to create more districts that favor Republicans. Do you approve or disapprove of the Texas redistricting plan?
