Democrats' internal polling shows swing voters believe party went 'too far' on COVID

The poll found that that 57% of voters in competitive congressional districts agree with the statement, "Democrats in Congress have taken things too far in their pandemic response," and 66% of self-defined "swing" voters in competitive districts agree with that statement. White and Hispanic voters in competitive districts were equally as likely to agree (59%), while Black voters (42%) and Asian voters (46%) disagreed with the statement. The poll also did not define what "taken things too far" means.

The DCCC found that critiques of COVID-19 restrictions were slightly less potent than other issues. In swing districts, 64% of voters agreed with the statement that "Democrats in Congress support defunding the police and taking more cops off of the street." The internal poll found that 80% of self-defined swing voters in competitive districts agreed with the same statement. Politico previously reported on the DCCC warning about the effectiveness of what they refer to as conservative "culture war attacks."

Sixty-two percent of voters in contested districts agreed with the statement, "Democrats in Congress have created a border crisis that allows illegal immigrants to enter the country without repercussions and grants them tax-payer funded benefits once here." Seventy-eight percent of swing voters in those districts agreed.

Sixty-one percent of swing district voters agreed with the statements, "Democrats in Congress are spending money out of control," and, "Democrats are teaching kids as young as five Critical Race Theory, which teaches that America is a racist country and that white people are racist." And 59% agreed with the statement, "Democrats are too focused on pursuing an agenda that divides us and judging those who don't see things their way."

The slide deck provides a snapshot into some of Democrats' strategies as their outlook for the 2022 midterms grows increasingly grim.

...but they haven't gone too far with lawfare? Vote fraud? Illegal immigration? Wag-the-dog Phony War? Antisemitism? Anti-Asiah hate crimes? BLM/Antifa riots?

What do they think about the border, turning our energy production independence to beggars?

How about in one year of total democrat rule the country is a basket case and democrats answer to what they have caused? Trot out the biggest fraud and reprobate our country has produced,Hillary Clinton!
If this isn’t Insanity, the definition needs to be changed

I would consider it an honor to be present in November when the Democrats are eviscerated in the House and also lose their majority in the Senate. The icing on that cake would be MSM, politicians and the Administration blaming it ALL on Collins, Fauci and Walensky.

Its unfortunate how much of the population knows so little of what exactly was done.

Yet anther reason why Government must be limited and local for Americans do not have time to remain reliably informed on more than a few issues. Making competent voting unlikely, and the Government agencies and programs in question effectively unaccountable.
