A new poll from Kaplan Strategies shows that Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie is facing an uphill battle as he seeks re-election in the 2026 Republican primaryKentucky04 GOP with write up.
According to the survey of likely GOP primary voters in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, only 19% say they plan to vote to reelect Massie regardless of who challenges him. That number drops even lower — to 14% — if former President Donald Trump endorses a primary opponent.
Currently, Massie faces one declared challenger: registered nurse Nicole Lee Ethington, who leads him in a head-to-head matchup, 31% to 19%, with a majority of voters still undecided.
Massie’s favorability is also alarmingly low among the Republican base:
23% view him favorably
62% view him unfavorably
Meanwhile, Donald Trump enjoys 89% favorability among the same group.
The poll reveals that Massie’s record in Congress may be fueling the opposition:
72% say they are less likely to vote for him because of his opposition to Trump’s tax cuts and budget
69% disapprove of his vote against the “Take it Down Act,” which would criminalize deepfake revenge porn
58% are less likely to support him after learning he voted against Trump’s Israel policy
Beyond Massie’s standing, the poll also found that foreign policy and immigration are top concerns for GOP voters:
Only 6% support staying out of the Iran-Israel conflict
52% favor targeted action against Iran’s nuclear program
31% support active U.S. involvement to pursue regime change in Iran
87% believe illegal immigration poses a threat to the economy and national security
The survey was conducted June 23–24, 2025, with 368 likely Republican primary voters. The margin of error is ±5.1%. Full results are available at KaplanStrategies.com.
