Why Working Class Voters Choose Culture Over Economics

from Middleweight Politics: Political Analysis for the Independent Voter · host Dan Sally & Shawn Griffiths

Democratic policies such as raising the minimum wage and expanding access to health care poll highly among voters, yet the party supporting none of these positions just won the White House and both chambers of Congress. Using data from Echelon Insights, Dan and Shawn explore how declining trust in government leads working class voters to choose cultural alignment over economic interests, why Democrats keep losing voters they take for granted, and what electoral reforms could help bridge the divide between policy preferences and voting patterns.
