An optimistic note from POS partner Bill McInturff @pollsterguy who has hope that our deeply divided country could again see the type of unity we saw in the aftermath of 9/11. “Never say never about America,” says Bill in the Wall Street Journal today. wsj.com/politics/how-the-uni…

With less than 100 days left until Election Day, recent data from the national survey we conduct on behalf of @CNBC makes it abundantly clear that the Democratic party has embraced socialism. That story in 2 charts:

A majority (54%) of Democratic voters have a positive view of socialism. This is double the number of Democrats who have a positive view of capitalism.

This is not an isolated fringe view within the Democratic party. Clear majorities of all major Democratic subgroups say some form of socialism would be a good thing for America.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Glen Bolger.  Glen was one of the three founding partners of our firm in 1991. He was a leader, a creative visionary, a husband, father, brother, mentor, a cornerstone of our organization, and cherished friend to all. pos.org/it-is-with-deep-sadn…

In our recent @NBCNews polling, Democrats are now far more likely to say they sympathize with the Palestinians instead of the Israelis, with 67% of Dems being more sympathetic to the Palestinians, compared to just 17% who say the Israelis. Additionally, two-thirds of Dems have a negative view of Israel, up from 35% in just 2023. Speaking on the topic, Partner Bill McInturff (@pollsterguy) said, "this is unrecognizable in terms of where America was, and the Democratic Party was, for a 20-, 30-year history." He also noted that this will have implications on the 2028 Democratic primary, saying that it is "going to be fought on very, very different terrain in regards to the issue of Israel."
