The NewsNation\/Decision Desk HQ survey found that 44% of respondents believe in a government cover-up regarding UFOs, while 28% disagreed and another 28% were unsure.This public concern was heightened by reports of large, drone-like objects flying over various locations, including airports and the Bedminster golf club where then-President Trump was staying. In response to the sightings, state lawmakers called for federal investigations, and a congressional hearing was held in December 2024, though it yielded inconclusive results.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration attempted to reassure the public, with White House officials stating the drones were authorized for research and being operated by hobbyists. Trump himself expressed a desire to investigate the situation further to inform the public. The survey was conducted among 1,448 registered voters from April 23-27, with a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Nearly half of US suspects government concealing UFO evidence despite Trump administration denial<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1958429\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A new<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/polls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> poll<\/a> showed that close to half of people believe the government is hiding information about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ufo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">unidentified flying objects<\/a> after mysterious aerial activity in New Jersey caught the country off guard late last year.<\/p>\n<p>The NewsNation\/Decision Desk HQ <a href=\"https:\/\/nexstartv-my.sharepoint.com\/:x:\/g\/personal\/mhobe_nexstar_tv\/Ed_IQP-AattKq1IhfspZkKUB_j3G-vcd-JiJJksGOx_TLQ?e=iJOJgk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">poll<\/a> released this week revealed that 44% of respondents think that the government is covering up evidence about UFOs, while 28% disagree, and another 28% remain unsure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3397633\/stephen-miller-press-briefing-aggressive-white-house-media\/\">Stephen Miller sticks it to the press during 100-day victory lap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3397496\/elon-musk-doge-not-as-effective\/\">Elon Musk admits DOGE &#8216;not as effective as I like&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3397490\/watch-stephen-miller-karoline-leavitt-press-briefing-after-trump-100-days\/\">WATCH LIVE: Stephen Miller and Karoline Leavitt hold press briefing following Trump&#8217;s first 100 days<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The survey comes after a slew of drone sightings in New Jersey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3256124\/new-jersey-lawmakers-concerned-mysterious-drones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">caught the nation&rsquo;s attention<\/a> when residents began reporting baffling unmanned aircraft flying over the state last year.
