Left, Right, and Local: What Our Survey Says Daily Detroit Listeners Believe

Today we're digging into the results of our recent Daily Detroit audience survey to see where our community actually stands on key political issues and values. Using Pew's excellent and long-standing political typology framework of nine groups, I look at the data and break down how our listeners and readers compare to the rest of the country, and what issues where we find a ton of common ground, no matter what party you may have voted for. Per Pew: "Pew Research Center's political typology sorts the American public into nine political groups based on responses to questions about social and political values. The goal of this long-standing project is to go beyond people's partisan leanings or vote choices to provide a deeper understanding of the American political landscape. This is the ninth version since 1987." While our audience spans a wide range of perspectives, the data shows a clear shared commitment to respect, local engagement, and smart, solutions-focused debate. Listen to see where you land in the numbers and how our community fits into the broader national picture.
