A poll conducted for Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) by her "House Majority PAC" produced consternation and confusion for this top Democrat. For one, the poll found that the political ideologies of voters were 41% conservative, 32% moderate and 19% liberal, with 37% identifying as Independents, 35% as Republicans and 29% as Democrats. For two, among white working class voters 69% favored policies that reward hard work.
"These findings make no sense," Pelosi argued. "Surely leisure is preferred over hard work. The Democratic Party has enacted measures that have expanded the opportunities for people to leave the workforce and still be able to live comfortably. There's public housing, food stamps, cell phones—all supplied gratis by laws and regulations we've championed. The liberal and Democratic cohorts among voters should be expanding, especially among the undocumented portion of the population."
The Congresswoman speculated that "perhaps the life of leisure we've provided has insidiously sapped the energy and initiative of those whose votes are crucial for our Party to continue to win elections. We think asking the beneficiaries to cast a vote is a small effort, but maybe once we've removed the effort required to support oneself from the equation even the minimal task of marking a ballot may seem too arduous."
"Even worse, our new slogan--'a better deal: better jobs, better wages, better future'--seems to have backfired," Pelosi lamented. "In the six months since Trump became president the economic data has been awful. There are more better-paying jobs and lower unemployment than anyone expected. Welfare rolls are shrinking. Fewer are living on food stamps. It's as if Trump's view is being vindicated."
In related news, a recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center found that 61% say the Democratic Party "too often sees government as the only way to solve problems." Unsurprisingly, this view was held by 83% of registered Republicans. Less expected was the finding that 44% of registered Democrats agreed. This perception of the Party as an advocate for statism is probably best encapsulated by Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy's statement that "there is no anxiety, sadness, or fear that cannot be cured by political action."
