Democratic voters in multiple key midterm states say their top concern going into November is "threats to the democracy," according to several recent polls, even as Democratic candidates spending the past several months campaigning with laser-focus on abortion.

A Marist Poll survey among Pennsylvanians discovered that "preserving democracy" is the top issue to 40% of likely Democrat voters, trumping abortion and inflation. In the state where all eyes are on GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz and Democrat opponent Lt. Gov. John Fetterman as they face off for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat, inflation was the most concerning issue to both Republican and Independent respondents. The poll was conducted among from September 19-22, 2022 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

The sudden priority shift within the Democratic Party comes after President Joe Biden claimed in several recent speeches that "extreme MAGA Republicans" are "threats to the democracy." Following Biden's remarks, political polls tracking the country's top midterm races began asking voters where these "threats" ranked in importance among abortion and inflation on their list of most concerning issues.

A Spectrum News/Sienna College poll of likely Wisconsin voters, conducted Sept. 14-15 with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points, found that when deciding which candidate to vote for this fall, "threats to the democracy" was the first or second choice to 40% of likely Democratic voters in the state, while 30% listed it as their top issue.

The NPCs will consider whatever is issue du jour is to be the #1 issue. For months was the "right" to murder unborn children, but now they are all in on seeing MAGA behind every bush and tree.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

What a coincidence. Liberals...I mean...threats to our democracy are my #1 concern as well.

Yes, and in that sense they are correct.

The Right considers their drive for one party rule the greatest threat to freedom. Not to mention pushing entirely unhinged and anti-Western civ agendas with that one party rule.

It still amazes me. Idiot Dem sheep truly believe that J6 was a serious threat to our gov't and that Voter ID laws and making people show up to polls to cast a ballot is a "threat to democracy". Pathetic lemmings.

Anything to distract you from the disaster that is the economy.

Today's reminder that liberals aren't serious people and should not be treated as such. They are toddlers.

It always seems to come back to the only explanation that makes sense is they believe what educators and news tell them to, and just run with that. For example, no independent observation could conclude that it whites beating up Asians most often in urban incidents.

No independent thought would have ignored-- -as Chris Wallace did -- the massive Left rioting in Portland/Seattle and instead focused on "white supremacy" for Trump to denounce at a debate.

That's not the kind of thought that comes from observing things with an independent mind.

Oh, I agree, but with regards to our republic since we are not a democracy. That is my number one issue as well.

Threats like:

  • Installing an inept, dementia-addled, president controlled by an unelected, shadow government
  • Weaponized alphabet agencies
  • Corupt/complicit media
  • Unchecked and corrupt elites who are allowed to enrich themselves at the cost of the citizens with no consequences
  • Uneven justice
  • Out of control borders
  • Out of control crime

The list could go on, but yes, I am absolutely basing my vote on threats.

'Threat to our democracy' is really 'Threat to our tyrannical rule'.

They want a single party system and they will stop at nothing to get it.

Already the weakest of the “Power Five” conferences, the league (Big 12) is hemorrhaging fans, wins, TV ratings and respect. (SA Express R. Bragg; Oct 12, 2016)

What has the average Dem heard (or most of the public for that matter) contrary to that? Unless you follow message boards or watch FOX, the news is still how a guy in a buffalo hat tried to off all of Congress.

Yeah anytime I hear Biden or one of the Dems talk about 'threat to democracy' I hear 'threat to me not getting re-elected'.

It is amazing. I have a relative (through marriage) that told me several months ago that he thought Biden was a terrible president but he was still glad he voted for him because had Trump won a second term, and could get away with it, mass deportations of hispanics would begin. And yes, he specifically meant legal US citizens. Trump hates brown people, all of them. I didn't even bother mustering a 30 second rebuttal. Would be pointless.

One party rule, but that doesn't mean for the US... they want if for the entire world along with their European buddies (and I suppose Canada doesn't want to be left out either).

"America First" is their definition of the greatest threat to democracy.

EXACTLY. Hence the common denominator is they either just believe the news they see or are "higher educated [indoctrinated now]" and just go with it.

Too many of the agendas and thoughts could not come from just thinking for oneself. They are too counter-intuitive.

Its why the Media more than most cannot be lambasted too much.

It's their justification for all the illegal voting. 'They had to do it to protect the country.' Prepare yourselves. More than 81 mil votes in 2024. In fact, I'll predict record setting voter turnout out in every contested race at congressional and senate levels.

Lots and lots of stupid people out there who think the Dem Party is benevolent.

In a way, I actually look at this poll as good news. I don't think J6 or 'threats to democracy' is has near the mobilizing effect on Dem voters as something like abortion does.
