Poll: Democratic voters driven by Trump opposition more than party platform
A CBS News/YouGov poll found 54% of Democratic voters back candidates mainly to block Trump and Republicans, while 46% cite advancing party policies.
- On Sunday, a CBS News/YouGov poll found 54 percent of Democratic voters intend to vote to stop President Donald Trump and Republicans from enacting their agenda, while 46 percent primarily support their own party's policies.
- Younger voters, specifically Generation Z, are fueling a surge of populist candidates entering the electoral scene, a trend Brookings Institution expert Elaine Kamarck attributes to a generation "traumatized by the pandemic and affordability issues."

- Forstag argued that when legislation passes, "half the money goes to the corporations," citing corporate presence in government as his rationale for running for office.
- Whether a coalition led by young voters can propel candidates like Denver-based lawyer Melat Kiros to victory remains the "looming riddle" Senator Bernie Sanders encountered in 2020; Kiros defeated her incumbent by 13 points.
