We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.

The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: https://t.co/qBtj1ycDkP

NEW: Voter favorability of ICE has plummeted after the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Only 39% of voters have a favorable view of ICE, while 58% are unfavorable.

@GraceAdcox Jealous that your CSA shares last longer than mine up here in WI

One of my big strategic reset takes for the left is that the climate movement needs to evolve its pitch from “save the planet” to “climate change is making you poor and a green economy will make you rich.” This is a prime opportunity for that being wasted by myopic Dem leaders.

@johannes_ff Thanks so much Johannes!

[johannes fischer @johannes_ff]

Really a brilliant approach from a brilliant team — kudos to @LewBlank for this sick poll

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

NEW: Voters think affordability is a bigger problem for the U.S. than declines in meaning and community, except for one group: men who voted for Trump in 2024.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

NEW: Voters have a mixed view of modernity.

A majority think the global integration of our economy and multiculturalism have been positive developments, while viewing the decline in religion and increased consumption of technology and material goods as mostly negative.

“All our small town farmers [are] getting pushed out for bigger corporations … I support Trump. He’s bringing us back to where we should have been.”

We talked to folks in Lancaster, WI, about the biggest problems facing their community. ⤵️

If you had a magic wand, what would you change in your community?

Folks in Milwaukee, WI told us about the minimum wage, job training, and welcoming immigrants.

New DFP Insights from @ryanodonnellpa:

"Mamdani’s campaign showcased how Democrats can reach disaffected voters by acknowledging our political and economic systems are broken and demonstrating that they will actually fight to help fix them."

What do you think of the Democratic Party? Who should be the party's leader? We asked people on the street in Madison, WI.

@zacharylhertz Love the shots

FYI: In every congressional district in the United States, less than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

That’s according to new polling from @DataProgress. Matthew Cortland takes over this week’s #MedicaidMinute to explain why the numbers show we MUST #ProtectMedicaid.

Which Trump administration actions are sparking the most backlash?

New data show it’s three things: Social Security Administration layoffs, DOGE, and tariffs.

[Ryan O'Donnell @ryanodonnellpa]

voters often say they support mass deportations in theory—until they have to think about the actual people being deported. our research keeps proving it: cruelty only polls well in the abstract. make it real, and support crumbles

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

NEW: Voters oppose deportations of various undocumented immigrants — including those who have lower-wage jobs and a shorter length of stay in the U.S. — when presented with real-world case examples.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is popular, even within Trump's own party.

Our polling found that 75% of voters approve of the CFPB after hearing about its actions on banking and medical debt.

[Ryan O'Donnell @ryanodonnellpa]

get more specific though — people say they support mass deportation when it’s more vague but that changes when they think about the actual people and circumstances
