Important point: Kamala Harris' agenda overall is more popular than Donald Trump's. WaPo and YouGov did a blind test of 100 policy proposals. Almost all of Harris' policies received support from more than 50% of voters. Only ~half of Trump's policies cleared the 50% support line. Harris' most popular ideas include: 1) Funding tech to detect fentanyl at border 2) Increase funding for home care for seniors 3) Investigate pharma that block competition 4) Require background checks for all gun purchases 5) Increase drugs eligible for Medicare price negotiations Trump's most popular ideas include: 1) Eliminating tax on Social Security 2) Fund research on chronic illnesses in kids 3) Expand health savings accounts 4) Deport gang members 5) Create a commission to audit the federal gov't

Is there a version of this quiz that isn’t paywalled? Would love to give my high school students this test and then have them compare their perceived support to the actual proposal data.

How many of these are “her” proposals? Does she know that she has them? Can she articulate, each for five minutes, rationally and persuasively, their basis and their potential results if they are enacted?

They are being drag by people perception of woke going too far and the memory of inflation. The economy is arguably in great shape and onward wage growth will outpace inflation consistently

Even with that, I bet those people who support cutting taxes on Social Security and the expanded healthcare savings accounts. Don’t realize those are benefits primarily to the wealthy.

It would be great to re-enter an era where we could decide based on sane policy agendas Difficult to do when Trump has "use the military to go after Americans" as one of the dots on the graph...

Democratic policies and priorities for legislation enjoy support from a significant majority of Americans. (See gun safety, reproductive rights, etc.)

Remove who proposed the policies and most Republicans would support Democratic policies. Why do you think that Kentucky doesn't say Obamacare, it's Kynect. My cousin said he was on ValleyCare, not Obamacare. 🙄

My Senate race is the most important in the country right now - and that's not an overstatement. I'm neck-and-neck in the polls with my liberal opponent. Will you help me defeat Hillary Clinton's heir apparent?

Policies very popular but gender, pigmentation and ancestry, not so much. Hate and fear are more powerful than anything else— more than economics, Democracy, decency, rationality.

Obviously. Unfortunately, we don't hold national elections on policy any more. It's 100% culture war and vibes. Excellent job, news industry! Hope you enjoy the clicks on our way to fascism!

The problem is that most Americans are too dumb to even understand what party supports which policies. They respond to culture war BS instead.

Kamala hasn’t been able to articulate any of those proposals, all where are they coming from?

Old people clearly have a lot of influence on public opinion considering their priorities have the highest approval rating.

Did they ask about Commie'la wanting to enter people's homes to check on their behaviour, to tax unrealized capital gains, and to implement equity instead of equality? What about her radical censorship policies? I doubt it — but what can you expect from the CIA's newspaper?

Do you mean the policies she's CLAIMING TO HAVE NOW... or the policies that reflect her values of 20 years that people hate?

One has been in politics for an entire lifetime and accomplished none of this. One was harassed and blamed for everything wrong with America after one month as president and then he was prosecuted and lied about being a Russian asset and Hitler, neither true.
