The Left has a problem with Crime as an election issue.
A Harvard/Harris poll asked if the Crime Spike across the USA is the result of
Woke Politicians
Or
Other Reasons.
64 percent blamed Woke Politicians
( 50 percent dems, 75 per cent GOP, 60 percent IND)
The fact that a majority of Democrats are not just ceding that wokeness is a problem in the abstract, but that it is directly responsible for one of the defining issues of the 2022 election (crime and public safety) is bad news for the Left. It is also yet another indication that the contemporary culture war can and should be a winner for Republicans, if they are willing to run aggressively on them, these are not boutique right wing base issues. They have implications that are felt across the political spectrum.
