Crucial swing voters troubled by DSA, new poll shows: ‘Souring on socialism’

WASHINGTON — Crucial swing voters have become increasingly troubled by the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America and the far-left in general — a major warning sign for Dems ahead of the midterms, a new poll shows.

When asked about their views of the DSA, 56% of respondents indicated they had an unfavorable view, up from 50% in September, according to Americans for Prosperity’s latest “Americans Unscripted” report.

Nearly 60% also felt the Democratic Party was controlled by the far left, again up from 50% in September, and 82% indicated they favor personal freedom and free markets over government control.

“Swing voters are souring on socialism — and fast,” AFP spokeswoman Katelyn Bledsoe told The Post.

“That’s a real opening for Republicans, and the candidates who show voters a credible plan to bring their costs down are in the strongest position on November 3.”

Americans for Prosperity, a libertarian-leaning policy advocacy group associated with the billionaire Koch brothers, has been leaning on its network of organizers across the country to get a pulse check. This is its last “Americans Unscripted” report before the Nov. 3 elections.

The question about the DSA was asked to about 9,000 to 10,200 people in eight states: Alaska, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Critically, the trend from September to October indicates that swing voters who will be deciding key races are increasingly turning on the far left.

Thank you very much and God bless you.


Democratic Michigan congressional hopeful William Lawrence recently ended his DSA membership as he faces a tough race.

One day you're a commie and the next day you're not? Commie fatigue. They can always resuscitate the Maine nazi.

From 60% - 82% of dem voters blame the far left? And what chunk of this is primarily the fault of RINOs/deep state/uniparty? These POS politicians can’t even pass DST.

Thune is the leader of these traitors.

Obviously a man of strong principles and moral convictions. Will obviously say and believe anything that will lead to him winning the election. Too bad the average voter IQ is not higher.

Then there's the day after the election. Are you suddenly a commie again?

What’s not to sour? Some of us actually know what it is. Not some “that sounds awesome and now we KNOW how to do it successfully” BS. FIDIOTS! 😠

They run as “live and let live” and rule as “do as I say, not as I do.”

I think the DSA tinge is strongest in Michigan.

No, silly. You were never not a commie. Remember he still carries the rat nomination meaning he’ll lie about anything any time to gain and hold power
