@ActorAaronBooth@SWRTruther@JaredGaffke@DrewSav@KSTP I'm sure we'll poll the primary, but not yet. This was a quick read of early support from the full field at the end of an already long survey where we had another 27 questions to ask of all reg. voters; bad idea to ask all that of the much larger sample we'd need for primary.
@USA_Polling We'll do this occasionally this far out -- ask who you'd be most likely to support, from both parties, rather than splitting & only asking of likely voters in each primary. In this case we had 27 other questions to ask of all RV, so we really couldn't do a separate primary poll.
In April, SurveyUSA debuted a trackable "Optimism Index," asking US adults if they felt "optimistic and excited" or "hopeless and defeated" about the country. +3 in April, but -2 today, a 5-point swing toward pessimism.

55% say things in the US are off on the wrong track, with just 1/3 saying things are headed in the right direction. When those who say things on wrong track are asked if they'll get worse before they get better, sentiment is near-universal & pessimistic.

Establishment Democrats tell us we must run “moderate” candidates to win. Really?
A recent Survey USA poll shows that Democrats, overwhelmingly, want their party to be more progressive.
And here’s what Americans have to say about the popularity of politicians in the country:
When Dems do find ways to take action, few are confident their actions will make a difference: 19% say they are extremely confident their actions will make a difference, while 40% are unsure, 27% are doubtful, and 14% are extremely sure their actions will not make any difference.
Just 28% say they feel Democrats have a clear strategy for opposing Trump in Washington, and almost the same number, 27%, feel Democratic leadership has given them direction on how to oppose Trump themselves.
By an overwhelming majority, 76% to 20%, Dems want their reps in Congress to fight harder against Trump's agenda, not find ways to compromise w/ the administration. Support for compromise is anemic across the board, rising above 30% only among the 6% of Dems who voted for Trump.
