A new Democracy Corps (D) poll finds that Democrats “have lost ground in this survey from +3 overall margin to even in this survey — and to -2 in the likely electorate.”
“That is driven by Democrats not addressing the top issue, cost of living, where they lost 3 points to be 3 points down and Republicans driving up fears on crime and borders.
Democrats are being hurt by the persistence of the economy and crime issue and late hits by the Republicans on on the border and immigration– and that is driving the current slippage. Current Republican strategies on this issue are working. But it is the cost of living – the top worry — that is still potentially contested.”
The key takeaway: “Fear of Democratic governance generates much greater fear than what happens with Republican control.”
