Internal Dem poll of swing voters is bad news if they want to win outside deep-blue districts:

@AOC
• Known by 74% of voters
• 22% have favorable view

@IlhanMN
• 53% known
• 9% favorable

Socialism
• Favorable: 18%
• Unfavorable: 69

Capitalism
• Fave: 56%
• Unfave: 32

@AOC @IlhanMN Most Democratic voters nationwide (by a 13-point margin) want the party to move in a more moderate direction. #TwitterIsNotRealLife

@AOC @IlhanMN @pewresearch Nevertheless, it’s much better for the @TheDemocrats to have this intra-party fight right now rather than in July 2020.

Let’s check back in on them in 12 months… #RemindMe

@AOC @IlhanMN I haven’t seen the full demographic/location breakdown of that internal Dem poll, but it apparently only polled white non-college voters – who have been going GOP by 15+ points for the past decade.

Not sure why they’re called “swing voters” by whoever leaked the poll to @Axios.

In 2016, white non-college voters made up 44.8% of the electorate nationwide.

• In Florida, they were 43.8% of voters.
• In Pennsylvania, they were 52.8%.
• In Michigan, they were 54.3%.
• In Wisconsin, they were 59.2%.
