This was tough, Trump +9 terrain in the south and southwest that Dems need to compete in. The generic overall was D-5, but in congressional bgs, Dems have a THIRTY EIGHT point edge (72-34) in extreme motivation. slides: waytowin.docsend.com/view/axecqhu... memo: waytowin.docsend.com/view/wcrfgb2...

The New York Times covers fresh research on Latinos from Valiente Fund: “Don’t come at me with this cultural pandering,” said Tory Gavito, President of Way to Win. “I want to know how you’re going to fight for me.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/u...

This confirms the analysis from polling done by @waytowinus.bsky.social and others -- the issues that are affecting the popularity of the Democratic Party don't stem from ideology -- they come from a perception that the Party is weak.

A new poll from the New York Times shows potential Democratic voters want the party to move to the right, are happy with where it is ideologically, and rate socialism highly. Huh? www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-06-12...

Good analysis. The economics concerns, in our findings, went pretty far beyond just concern about prices. But voters concerns about the primary were VERY real. When we talked to '24 skippers a lot of them perceived Harris as a standard corporate, status quo and establishment Dem ...

Reality bath from @gelliottmorris.com: Given Biden approval rating & inflation/consumer sentiment, "the surprise of the [2024] election is that Harris did as well as she did...the Dem nominee was on track to lose the popular vote by 4 points. She lost by 1.5." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-dnc-au...

This is consonant with research that shows doing conservative lite may encourage people to go all in on conservative candidates: bsky.app/profile/chan...

These RCT results (via Swayable) get at the big problem. The right wing immigration ads Dems ran both built public support for the ICE nightmare we are living now, AND were politically disastrous, showing clear backfire on candidate choice questions. They made voters want to vote for Trump.

If you'd like to read a post-2024 (inc. 2025) autopsy-like report that was thoroughly edited, built from strong research, focused on what voters were thinking, and did meet all stakeholders' (stringent) standards, please read ours. These were the conclusions, which we absolutely still stand by.

Voters in 2024 had both chronic and acute frustration about the economy. They wanted change and were skeptical of Harris and Dems’ capacity to deliver it. Right wing and corporate media effects are huge, but not insurmountable. But a lack of movement alignment makes this challenge more difficult.
