A left-wing pollster found that voters disapprove of common left-wing policies and talking points on everything from big government to abortion, Time reported Monday.
The poll from the Democratic-aligned Winning Jobs Narrative Project, which surveyed 60,000 voters across 17 states, found that "making villains of corporations" and embracing "culture war topics like abortion" are ineffective strategies for Democrats. Liberals would attract more voters, in fact, if they sounded like conservatives—talking about "respect for work" and placing "government in a supporting rather than primary role."
Voters prefer Republicans' handling of the economy, which remains "the top issue of the coming election," the poll found. Americans don't believe President Joe Biden's claims that "this has been the fastest recovery in 40 years," instead "looking at the worst inflation in the same period and record gas prices."
Biden has attempted to blame sky-high gas prices on corporate greed, saying last month that "oil and gas companies must not use this moment as an excuse for profiting." The White House-backed "Inflation Reduction Act," meanwhile, ostensibly targets millionaires, though the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation has found that most new tax revenue will come from "those making less than $200,000 a year," the Washington Free Beacon has reported.
The poll is just one of several to find that Americans trust Republicans over Democrats on the economy. It also found that Democrats' "economic message is especially bad with Latino voters." Democrats have hemorrhaged Latino support, with more than two-thirds of Hispanics saying the country under Biden is on the wrong track, the Free Beacon reported last month.
While the Winning Jobs Narrative Project says its goal is "advancing a progressive agenda," its poll found that "the progressive bullhorn … may not be a winner with the voters that matter most," Time noted.
For Democrats to win, the magazine said, they will "need to realize progressive Twitter isn't real life."

Liberals and Rinos have been doing this for eons.
The dims today are like that winning politician in o brother where art thou that proudly hinted at being a ranking member of the kkk, thinking everybody was going to think that was swell, only to find out it ruined his chances utterly and completely.
Never trust the bubble. And it might be a lot smaller than you think it is.
It seems to me that people need to be beat over the head repeatedly with Democrat policy failures and Republican policy successes. Low information voters are not bright. It takes repeated beating to permanently implant any idea. Too bad it is also true for most Republicans in Congress.
None at all.
No person in their right mind wants these things:
They cannot TELL people what they stand for. They don't WANT people to know. Because NORMAL people don't WANT what THEY want.
“For Democrats to win, the magazine said, they will “need to realize progressive Twitter isn’t real life.”
The stupid deep state fell for its own propaganda, that Twitter represented traditional American views.
Studies have shown time after time that those who easily believe propaganda and fall for the lies are the propagandists themselves.
Another deep state failure.

Don’t believe your own propaganda....................
