Thank you so much for having me! Our recent @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social work showed -- across a bunch of issues -- acknowledging the system is broken improves the strength of progressive messaging

Chris Cillizza@chriscillizza.bsky.social · last yr.

My conversation with @margieomero.bsky.social was enlightening on a bunch of fronts -- but the most interesting thing she said was that Dems need to stop focusing on liberal vs moderate. “I think it's that people want to see candidates that show that they're going to fight," she said.

Working Class Weekly: Tariffs … and What Dems Should Do About Them

Working class voters have gone from cautiously supportive to more anxious and concerned by the costs of Trump’s tariffs over the past 3 months. So what should Democrats do?

‘You want to be on’ team Cassi Fenili

Justice-elect Susan Crawford won her campaign by 10 points. Democratic officials say Cassi Fenili, her campaign manager, is continuing a years-long hot streak.

From @theatlantic.com @elainegodfrey.bsky.social. In early April NYT fg, no Trump vtr would change their vote. In our late April fgs & survey, more (not all!) shared regret. Trump voters shifting? Or diff btwn “regret” & “would change vote”? We’ll keep exploring. Majority of Trump vtrs still w/him.

How many Trump voters regret their choice? I would have guessed less than 11%, but it's consistent with what we're hearing in focus groups. From the latest @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social release:

Working Class Weekly: An Initial Snapshot of Views of the Democratic Party

Welcome to Working Class Weekly -- our weekly post of new research on key topics from The Working Class Project

my algo like: "What does our obsession with the lipstick worn by every character in White Lotus say about our anger toward Trump Administration?"

Trump is preparing to make JD Vance the “tariff czar” to deal with the rising prices and other problems that are about to arise because of their tariffs on China. 🔗: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

From our latest @nytopinion.nytimes.com focus group, this time with Trump voters. They give him mostly Bs & Cs, and are at times both worried and optimistic about tariffs, hoping to pay no more than 3-5% more in prices. No one would go back & change their vote.
