What do you think Third Way would rather discuss? Economic opportunity or economic fairness? Before anyone takes their polling data too seriously, we should identify what they hope the poll results will find. And it seems to me that one of the Third Way’s core objectives is to convince the Democratic Party to forego efforts at economic fairness. They do not want a more progressive tax system, for example.
Now, their polling data may be accurate and it could be true that the true swing-voters in the key swing states are more interested in a message aimed at economic opportunity than economic fairness, but I’d like to see their data corroborated by a polling outfit that doesn’t have an agenda. I also reject that dichotomy. More economic fairness will lead to more economic opportunity. The two issues are not mutually exclusive.
