US: Democratic Socialist Policy Positions Remain Fringe - I&I/TIPP

Jul-21 18:17

A new survey from I&I/TIPP has found that, “Democratic Socialist policy ideas resonate only with a minority of US voters,” despite the DSA  being “perhaps the most influential arm of the Democratic Party today.”

  • TIPP notes on a proposal of the DSA's plan: "Government ownership of the largest corporations and important industries,” that “about a third — 33% — agree with the idea either strongly (13%) or somewhat (20%), while 52% disagree strongly (34%) or somewhat (18%).”
  • TIPP continues, “By political grouping, among Dems, 37% agree with government control, while 47% disagree. Republicans, perhaps shockingly, are not too far away in their views: 34% agree, 54% disagree. Independents are strongest in their rejection: 26% agree, 57% disagree.”
  • The survey is likely to feed into some concern within the Democratic establishment that a surge from progressive candidates in Democratic primaries may open the door to the GOP in key midterm races, including the crucial Maine and Michigan Senate races
