Maybe now (for whatever reason) republicans are more in favor of Project 2025 but during the campaign Project 2025 was quickly swept under the rug, because GOP probably knew it was so unpopular it might cost them the election.
They felt they needed the “undecided” or “centrist” vote to win, so Trump denying he didn’t know what it was, was helpful. Trump never condemned it either, he just said some of it was a little extreme, IIRC. The “undecided” or “centrist” vote is very marginal.
It was also unpopular within the republican party. Even within MAGA it had only 30% support. It wasn’t pushed out of the media to pull undecided or centrists. It was pushed out to not drive away the non-MAGA republicans. You can also compare the October poll to one of the first poll as it shows a clear trend where the more people found out about Project 2025 the less they liked it.
