My @ChangePolls colleagues did a deep dive into the political and social attitudes of young voters 🤯 https://t.co/cBvdOzWB6M

@nzdunk @Dream4Merica Congrats, Nancy!

It’s Pride Month! Here’s a sneak peek of findings from our survey of 3197 registered voters, including sizable samples of LGBTQ folks (n=427) and their allies (n=984).

First things first - Gaga is beloved by the LGBTQ community, passing Madonna, Cher, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce.

With Ron DeSantis set to kick off his presidential campaign alongside Elon Musk, we took a look at how the two are viewed:

Musk:
33% favorable (16% *very*)
46% unfavorable (31% *very*)

DeSantis:
33% favorable (19% *very*)
50% unfavorable (45% *very*)

We've been proud to partner with the @PAHDCC, @TMSoutherland85, and all the great candidates over the last several years.

@HeatherBoydPA will be a great legislator and keep Pennsylvania moving forward. It's hard to win a majority; PA Dems have done it thrice in six months.

[Ben Greenfield @brgreenfield]

Huge! Congrats @HeatherBoydPA!

[PA House Dems @PAHDCC]

Congratulations, Representative-elect @HeatherBoydPA! Welcome to the majority!

We’re proud to account for many of those 68. Join the club, friends at other firms!

…if DeSantis keeps doing what he’s been doing, we should not expect it to go well for him.

[Change Research @ChangePolls]

Comparing this poll to a poll CR conducted in Nov '22, we find:

Nov ‘22: 74% of Rs viewed DeSantis very favorably
May ‘23: 42%

Nov ‘22: DeSantis has a 20-point “very favorable” edge over Trump among Rs
May ‘23: Trump has a 6-point edge

[Ben Greenfield @brgreenfield]

Trump is nowhere near invincible, *but*…

[Change Research @ChangePolls]

Instead of asking GOP primary voters to choose just one candidate, we asked them to choose ALL the candidates they approve of – a system of voting called Approval Voting.

The results show that just about as many GOP voters would choose DeSantis as would choose Trump:

[PA House Dems @PAHDCC]

We only have a little over a week left until Election Day.

The special election in HD163 will decide the fate of our Democratic majority and abortion access in Pennsylvania.

Hear more about what's at stake from Governor @JoshShapiroPA:

[The Tech Oversight Project @Tech_Oversight]

BREAKING: By a 2-to-1 margin, voters want Congress to take action on AI, so policies and regulations protect consumers, not corporations’ bottom line.

They don’t trust Big Tech to regulate themselves.

56% of voters nationwide told us they believed Clarence Thomas should resign — and I have a hunch that this morning’s revelations didn’t make that number get any lower.

[Change Research @ChangePolls]

NEW POLL: Clarence Thomas & Supreme Court ethics 👩‍⚖️

A majority of voters – 56% – say Justice Thomas should resign. This includes 60% of independents and even 16% of Republicans.

Vote! (I voted for #2, but want an accompanying question that asks which issues they spend too *little* time on.)

[Change Research @ChangePolls]

Which of the following open-ended questions would you like to see asked in our nationwide poll this weekend?

1. What does the term "woke" mean to you?

2. What kinds of issues do you think politicians spend too much time focusing on?

3. How does it feel being an American today?

[Embold Research @EmboldResearch]

POLL: We surveyed 877 registered voters across the state of Tennessee for the nonpartisan group @ProtectMyCare this month.
Tennessee voters are in favor of safe storage laws, red flag laws, and laws requiring background checks for all gun sales.

[Ben Greenfield @brgreenfield]

Yup. Polling very clearly showed that crime was by far the #1 issue for both Vallas voters AND Johnson voters. Chicagoans simply preferred Johnson’s approach.

[Roshni Nedungadi @RoshniNedungadi]

Another proof-point that voters prefer solutions that attempt to address root causes of crime rather than tough-on-crime, police-reliant policies.

More from our Irish Americans poll 🇮🇪🇺🇸

In addition to being most likely to identify as "Irish American", Northeasterners were also the most likely to identify as Catholic.

Southerners were the most likely to be Protestant, and Westerners were most likely to be non-religious.

NEW: Black voters say they’ll overwhelmingly support the Democrat in the 2024 general election, whether or not Biden runs.

But what does the primary look like if he doesn’t run?

VP Kamala Harris leads – but not by much. 🧵on some fascinating findings from our Black Voices poll:
