Dem Pollster Sounds the Alarm: 'We Have a Problem'
Leah Barkoukis

Posted: Dec 03, 2021 8:00 AM

Last month, Democratic pollster Brian Stryker conducted focus groups to determine how Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia, which President Biden won by 10 points. He wasn’t involved in the governor’s race, but was consulted to help Democrats understand why they lost.

Stryker picked up on some important points in that memo, which according to The New York Times, has circulated widely among Democrats.

From having a weak national brand, to focusing too much on social issues rather than the economy, which they believe is in bad shape, to feeling Democrats are out of touch in addressing serious issues, the memo clearly was a wake-up call. When looking specifically at the governor’s race, Stryker found that the strategy of trying to tie Youngkin to Trump was a mistake—and he doesn’t sugarcoat it.

“If we are running 2022 on ‘Republican candidate = Trump,’ we’re getting killed,” he wrote.

I think a found it as a PDF file via the Googles:

https://thirdway.imgix.net/pdfs/override/Qualitative-Research-Findings-%E2%80%93-Virginia-Post-Election-Research.pdf


Findings are based on the results of online focus groups conducted November 8-9, 2021 among 18 Biden 2020
voters who were swing voters or actively considered both candidates in Virginia’s 2021 gubernatorial race, in the
Richmond metro area and Northern Virginia. Because this is qualitative research, it cannot be projected on to the
Virginia electorate as a whole.

We conducted focus groups among suburban NOVA and Richmond Biden voters to
understand why they swung to Youngkin or seriously considered doing so. A few things
stood out to us about these voters, where our national and Virginia problems
compounded each other to swing the state to Republicans ...

That's hilarious. He is saying that equating a candidate to Trump is a positive thing.
More Americans like Trump than hate him, especially since Biden and his posse of woke joke fools.

Making the election a referendum on Trump in 2018 worked out well for the Democrats but it didn’t work as well by 2020 as evidence by lack of a Blue Wave

The problem they have now is people see how they govern

No worries.  The RNC congressional caucus is working overtime to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
