And funnily enough, about 80% agree with their policies.

That sounds about right? 1/3 progressive, 1/3 regressive and 1/3 apathetic

That’s pretty close to the actual poll.

In The Economist/YouGov poll, 29 percent of respondents said they would be willing to cast their ballot for a democratic socialist, 45 percent said they wouldn’t and 26 percent were unsure.

People don’t really vote for ideologies, they vote for policies. They don’t care what books the candidate has read.

What they care about and will vote for: lower rents, lower healthcare premiums, lower student debt, etc etc.

Most polls are garbage. This one is by *The Economist* and YouGov, neither of which inspire confidence.
