Poll: Democrat-Led Cancel Culture Is A Big Turnoff For Voters In New Jersey, Virginia
The Federalist ^ | April 28, 2021 | By Jordan Davidson

Swing voters in New Jersey and Virginia are fed up with Democrats pushing cancel culture, a new poll from the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) suggests.

The survey of 656 “high propensity persuadable voters” located in two districts in New Jersey and Virginia found that after RSLC digital advertisements targeted Democrats for promoting cancel culture, citizens were more likely to vote for Republican candidates.

“The key message of the ad was simple: the cancel culture tactics that drove Major League Baseball to move its annual All-Star Game out of Atlanta will cost Georgia $100 million, hurt the very communities Democrats claim to be fighting for, and could eventually be waged against New Jerseyans and Virginians of all backgrounds and ideologies,” RSLC said. “It was meant to show just how out of control President Biden and the liberals who run Washington have become in their first few months in power, seeking to appeal to those who may not traditionally support Republicans but are concerned that the Democratic Party no longer represents their values as it continues to lurch to the left.”

In New Jersey’s 8th District, voters who viewed the ad were 57 percent more likely to vote for the GOP in this year’s elections, while voters in Virginia’s 12th District were 58 percent more likely to cast their ballot for a conservative candidate. These numbers, RSLC said, grant optimism to Republican candidates seeking to pick up seats in state legislatures.

“In other words, Democrat-led cancel culture seems to be providing state Republicans with an opportunity to have their arguments on pressing issues like the economy, education, community safety, and health care taken more seriously by voters that were traditionally out of reach,” RSLC concluded....

Sounds like people that will go whichever way the wind blows them.

Well, maybe things are changing. Everyone, even liberal minded people, can reach a breaking point with all this political correctness and cancel culture being rammed down our throats. If this overreach of cancel culture by the liberals and leftists can cause some voters to vote our way, it’s all good.

Well, that’s good news.

But I am starting to feel very pessimistic about America’s chances.

Yawn. I’m in VA. I have no doubt the democrat voters where I’m at - northern VA - are very very happy with everything as is and couldn’t care less about cancel culture. My neighborhood set off fire crackers and honked horns when Biden was declared the winner, the Saturday after the election. The corrupt and dysfunctional VA Republican Party ensures continued defeat in VA.

That doesn’t matter, because Democrats will just continue to steal elections because they know they can get away with it.

Everyone claims it turns them off, but as long as it only happens to people they hate, it’s all good.

Other than as giving an air of legitimacy, what’s the point of polling on anything anymore? Serious question.

You've got to remember that these are just simple Independent voters. These are people of the shopping mall. The common clay of the suburban landscape.

You know.

Morons!

8th District is heavily Hispanic and East Indian. Interesting how they chose said district but anecdotally I’ve never met a Latin or Hindu who was a cheerleader for cancel culture.

There’s no such thing as a swing voter in either state.

There may be some that think they’re a “Democrat with common sense”, but they’ll still vote Democrat because all Republicans are mean and Orange Man Bad.
