I think this is fascinating to be able to do polling without preselecting topics that may lead the outcomes. AI seems be an important tool to process natural language top of mind responses from the population. Get the public feedback and then tease out the issues. Fantastic. I also think keeping careful double checks and experts to monitor things as you have done is / will be a powerful way forward with "the survey".
Always impressed with the way you guys seek to innovate with polling methodology and bring out the truth in public sentiment. Bravo to the Strength in Numbers team
Thanks, G. Instead of the usual vague “Do you approve of X?” polling, you asked about consequences - mass deportations, regime behavior, emotional response. It really matters.
You broke it down by how people feel: fear, trust, instability. That’s the layer most pollsters avoid, and it’s the one shaping the public narrative right now.
I’ve been talking about this kind of internal polling for a while now, and I wanted to come on here and say thank you.
Polling from the top down in a bottom-up movement is what Democrats often get wrong , they wait for change, then chase it. This survey actually leads.
Hoping the Democratic party can get their act together in working for all Americans interests, and lose any allegiance to corporate money. They would do just fine with small dollar donations spent wisely, and a sincere effort to tackle the problems of hardworking people just trying to live well. Those who won't go that route?...vote them out.
I am a bit confused as to how the poll is run - how the sample is collected and people surveyed. The only reference I see above is to the University of Michigan/CNN/Verasight survey? CNN has become pretty bias and is no longer really independent since its Republican takeover, so just curious how they are involved. For example AP News as independent journalism is unaffiliated with either party. Thanks
Interesting poll. I hope that Democrats planning to run in 2026 (and those states with elections in 2025) take notice. It also shows the importance of drawing attention to economic and immigration issues in the media that voters consume.
This is what got us into trouble last time. Generic candidates are no more real than a fantasy baseball game. It’s magical thinking. You want to do polls, or more importantly, research? Get to know the voters, ALL voters, find out what’s important to them, and message accordingly. Please get serious.
Democrats are associated more with warmth than Republicans (Rule & Ambady, 2010) so conservative respondents in you message test of feelings toward parties might rate the Republican party lower on warmth *and think that's a good thing.* In other words, since warmth is confounded with party, it might be better to ask people how much they like parties rather than how warm they are.

Methodology is at the bottom of the page, and in the linked topline document.
Yes! At last i find some info hackers in this. I have some ideas to discuss! :D <3

Thank you so much for the poll. Do we have crosstabs?
