A majority of voters want new infrastructure spending to be paid for by other spending💵 cuts, not tax increases or adding to the national debt. 68% of GOP voters feel the same, compared to just 31% of Democrats.
A plurality of voters prefer a smaller $500 billion spending package focused solely on infrastructure🛣️ projects compared to Biden's proposed $2 trillion spending package, $1.5 billion of which is allocated to non-infrastructure projects.
A small percentage of voters consider childcare (12%), paid family leave (10%), Medicaid (14%), and elderly care (14%) to be infrastructure. 75% consider highways, bridges🌉, and roads to be infrastructure.
If given the choice, voters would focus more on core infrastructure🚢 projects rather than the other non-infrastructure ventures the Biden plan allocates spending towards.
Up +3% points from March, @JoeBiden's overall approval👍 rating is far higher than his approval rating for immigration - a majority of voters disapprove of his job handling this issue.
In a non-Trump 2024 GOP🐘 Primary, @GovRonDeSantis maintains his lead from March with 20% of support. Former VP @Mike_Pence comes in at a close second with 16% of support.
Among GOP voters who say they're Trump-first, @GovRonDeSantis leads with 24% of support, with @DonaldJTrumpJr in 2nd🥈 with 15%. @Mike_Pence leads with Party-first Republicans with 24% of support.
A majority of GOP🐘 voters want Trump to run in 2024, while only 32% of total registered voters feel the same.
The Republican Party is evenly divided➗ between Trump-first and Party-first members: 47% say they're Party-first, while 44% say they're Trump-first.
When given the option to donate $1,000💰 to political campaigns or causes, GOP voters overall said they'd donate the most to electing Republicans to state or local offices. In contrast, Trump-first voters said they'd donate the most to funding Trump's political interests.

Did Americans feel pressure to vote a certain way in the election?

Mostly not.

However, young voters are much more likely than their older counterparts to report feeling pressure to vote a certain way. Image
When it comes to 2024 presidential vote, though, there is not a major divide.

Trump voters are slightly more likely than Harris voters to report feeling pressure by those around them to vote a certain way. Image
When asked about where this pressure came from, voters were most likely to say they felt it from friends or family.

About 30% of people who felt pressured to vote a certain way said friends and family were not just pressuring them, but pressuring them too much. Image

In this month's omnibus, Echelon asked voters whether they trusted Trump or Harris on a range of policy issues and character attributes — and which of those issues and attributes were most important to their vote. 🧵
When it comes to the issues, Trump leads on five while Harris leads on four.

Importantly, Trump leads on the top three issues people say are most important to their vote.

On the other hand, the issues Harris leads on are generally less important to people's votes. Image
The gap is greater among people who say each of these issues is the most/second most important to their vote.

Among those who say inflation is their most/second most important issue, Trump is trusted more by a 23 point margin.

But among the general population, he only led by 3. Image

Last month, we asked votes in the likely electorate about neoliberalism. We found some surprisingly large changes from last year!
To test support for neoliberalism, we used eight pairs of statements and asked voters to indicate which one they agreed with more.
Compared to March of 2022 when we tested the same statements, voters were far more favorable to expanding the child tax credit. But they were also far more skeptical of admitting refugees, which saw a similarly large shift in the anti-neoliberal direction.

What if the United States were a multi-party Democracy? In our latest multi-party analysis, we matched registered voters with the following parties: Nationalist (24%), Conservative (18%), Acela (12%), Labor (29%), and Green (8%).
Voters identifying with the Nationalist party platform saw the biggest growth since we last asked the question in June, and the Labor party saw the largest decline in support since then.
The gap between support for the Nationalist party and the Labor party shrank to just 5 points in October after being at 12 points in June.
