A new poll conducted by the Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos found that 56 percent of Americans oppose President Trump's plan to construct a ballroom on the White House grounds, according to results released Thursday.

The survey showed that opposition to the ballroom project remained at a 2-to-1 ratio even after a recent assassination attempt at a White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The poll found no significant shift in public opinion regarding the construction project following the incident.

The ballroom construction project began in October 2025 with the demolition of existing structures on the White House grounds. Trump has advocated for accelerated construction of the facility, stating after Saturday night's incident that "it cannot be built fast enough."

The poll also measured opposition to other Trump initiatives, finding even higher disapproval ratings for the president's proposal to place his signature on U.S. currency. The survey results suggest continued public skepticism toward several high-profile presidential proposals.

The White House ballroom project has become a focal point of debate over presidential spending priorities and the appropriate use of executive mansion grounds. Construction timelines and costs for the project have not been publicly detailed by the administration.
