WASHINGTON, DC — Priorities USA is in the midst of a large research project examining the 2020 election and helping to chart a path forward for Democrats. Priorities will be releasing results from this research over the coming weeks. The first finding to be released is the broad support among battleground swing voters for President Biden’s COVID-19 response package despite the fact that Republicans in Congress have refused to back the effort.
“Americans are united in wanting President Biden to act quickly to help as many people as possible during this time of need,” said Priorities USA Chairman Guy Cecil. “While it’s important that President Biden is lowering the temperature and reaching out to Republicans, the American people want him to move forward with a bold Covid relief package, even if it means doing so without Republican Congressional support. Despite the divisions in Congress, this legislation has united the rest of the country. The only possible takeaway from this research is that Biden is doing the absolute right thing and Republicans in Congress are out of touch with the needs of their own constituents.” Priorities USA raised and spent more than $250 million during the 2020 cycle and was the largest outside supporter of the Biden-Harris campaign. Priorities continues to be focused on protecting the right to vote in light of ongoing voter suppression efforts, defending the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, and supporting the Biden agenda. About This Poll Global Strategy Group and Garin-Hart-Yang conducted this poll online February 3-15, 2021, with a total sample of 800 swing voters across eight states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Swing voters in these states were screened into the full survey if they either exhibited ticket-splitting or party switching behavior across elections in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 (covering a mix of House, Senate, and presidential votes), or self-reported ticket-splitting on other races during that period. |
