Americans are progressive on key issues II

In response to comments I made recently about overwhelming support for Badgercare expansion and raising the minimum wage in counties and municipalities around Wisconsin, a counter claim was made that these issues were approved of in only progressive leaning areas and so were no indication of any broad support for progressive ideas. So here’s exhibit B.

Voters in Alaska, Arkansaw, South Dakota and Nebraska voted to raise their respective minimum wages, in spite of GOP control of their statehouses.

And a majority of voters in Georgia support raising the minimum wage as well, in spite of opposition from the Georgia GOP.

And a statewide exit poll, as well as the most recent Marquette Law School poll, showed broad support across Wisconsin for raising the minimum wage.

  1. I agree the people are with Democrats on the issues. Easy to say in hindsight but the Democrats should have passed more of the popular legislation in the U.S. Senate to prove Democrats stand with the American people.
