Our Research: Voice of Main Street
Small Business Majority’s Voice of Main Street opinion poll series is a quarterly look at the challenges and opportunities that entrepreneurs in our network are facing when it comes to a range of issues. These perspectives come from a diverse set of business owners, the majority of whom are microbusinesses with fewer than 10 employees. While responses vary, they generally are reflective of our diverse network—two-thirds of whom are women and two-thirds people of color—making this series a lens into the needs and views of underrepresented entrepreneurs accross the country.
Reports in the series:
The latest Voice of Main Street poll shows entrepreneurs face major capital challenges and oppose the administration’s proposed spending cuts. Notably, 78% are concerned about cuts to the SBA, which provides vital resources small businesses need to succeed.

Deportation policies also raise concern, with 69% citing potential harm to the U.S. economy and 37% to their own or suppliers’ operations.
