Democratic Socialism Poll Briefing

Rescheduling — Stay tuned!

Join this donor briefing to learn about recent polling from the DSA Fund on the growing popularity of democratic socialist leadership & values

As the Democratic Party establishment fails to provide meaningful opposition to Trump and the far right, democratic socialists are filling the void – the most popular and exciting leaders on the left in Bernie, AOC and Zohran, an authentic economic populism that unites voters of all parties, and a battle-tested movement mobilized to take on critical fights from ICE raids to trans rights and Palestinian liberation. 

DSA Fund, alongside Jacobin Magazine and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation commissioned a Data for Progress poll in late August to better understand the movement for democratic socialism in this moment. What are the myths and what are the facts about support for democratic socialist leadership & values? What progress has been made, and what gaps remain? And how can this data help inform critical investments in the months and years to come?

Hear from three leaders that can provide critical perspective:

• Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval, representing the 1st District in Philadelphia
• Lauren Hitt, DSA Fund communications advisor; former communications director to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and former spokesperson for Harris/Walz 2024
• Gabe Tobias, executive director of the DSA Fund
