beyond zohran, sherrill ran on freezing prices and taking on corporate power while spanberger railed against trump's billionaire giveaways. there's no question that economic populism is a winner

So grateful for the team for putting their trust in me at this pivotal moment for our movement and our country.

If you want to learn more, work together, or just have a discussion, my DMs are open! Would love to get in touch.

Data for Progress Will Use Polling to Lead, Not Follow
As the right uses polling to justify fear, we need to use it to understand possibility.

Too much of the Democratic coalition are stuck on cautious, business-as-usual politics, while voters have no clue what they actually stand for.

We won’t use research to continue the status quo; we’ll use it to build a positive agenda.

At Data for Progress, we know public opinion isn’t fixed — it’s shaped by trusted messengers, material conditions, and social dynamics.

We’re focused on learning what actually breaks through to voters to fight back against the right and build power for the left.

How much attention do you pay to news about national politics on TV, radio, newspapers, or the Internet?

<> A great deal <> A lot <> A moderate amount <> A little <> None at all

any world turnout could get added to your sheet? 😇 it's so helpful already but turnout as a % of 2024 votes or something would be even more helpful

this is a good one imo! bsky.app/profile/data...
In late March, there was no consensus about what news story people were hearing most.

Trump's recent sweeping tariff announcement changed that — this is what it looks like when a news story truly breaks through.

this question also helps contextualize what "governing style" people want
