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.

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.
