Poll finds more unity among Democrats, but policy and 2028 divides remain

The POLITICO Poll, conducted last weekend by PF Global, finds half of progressives and half of moderates saying Democrats are somewhat or much more unified since the election. Two-thirds of Democratic midterm voters now say progressives make the party stronger, up from 41% before Election Day. But a shared sense of unity doesn’t settle what Democrats should do next. 78% of Democratic midterm voters name lowering living costs as Congress’s top focus, close to 71% of Americans overall. On the economic response, 47% of Democratic midterm voters favor major systemic reforms and government intervention to reduce inequality, while 39% prefer pragmatic, targeted solutions. The 2028 divide persists, too: 50% of progressives say someone with their ideology would be among the most electable candidates, versus 36% of moderates. The report says the post-election détente may not last.
