Democrats want new leaders, focus on pocketbook issues, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
Kamala Harris’ November loss to Donald Trump has left the party rudderless and sparked a round of soul-searching about the path forward.
You're viewing a single thread.
Democrats want new leaders for their party, which many feel isn't focusing enough on economic issues and is over-emphasizing issues like transgender rights and electric vehicles, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
over-emphasizing issues like transgender rights
I know this isn't the point of the article, but it's distressing that the average Democrat voter also believes that minimal defense of trans rights from existential threats is over-emphasis.
It's not the conclusion someone should draw from this poll, but it's the thing these authors want front and center. They won't show us the actual poll results, but that is far from the only disconnect and certainly a minor one since few Democrats think that's a primary focus, but it's the only example they provide of issues respondents believe are more broadly prioritized by leadership than the actual responses. It's at most a minor point, but the authors elevate it to first paragraph material even while the other discrepancies are much higher.
I think that says more about lack of coverage/attention to economic issues than anything. At least in my charitable reading of it.
