Poll Shows Mixed Support Among MAGA Republicans for Trump's Image on $250 Bill

A recent YouGov poll indicates that approximately 26% of President Trump's MAGA supporters oppose the idea of printing $250 bills featuring his image. While Trump maintains a 91% approval rating among his loyal base, less than half of self-identified MAGA Republicans support the proposal to include his face on currency. The poll revealed that 48% approve of the plan, while another 26% are undecided. Among the broader Republican demographic, 35% oppose the proposal, with 40% in favor and 24% unsure. A congressional ally of Trump is currently pursuing a proposal for a 'commemorative note' to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, although the initiative has faced delays in Congress. A Treasury official has requested mock-ups of the bill, but existing laws prohibit living individuals from being depicted on currency. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the prototypes were created in anticipation of potential legislative changes allowing such depictions, emphasizing that the department will adhere to current laws and will not proceed without congressional approval. The poll surveyed 1,604 U.S. adults from May 29 to June 1, with a margin of error of ±3.5%.
