The poll released today covers How to Talk About the Economy with the Rising American Electorate (RAE).
From the report: "RAE voters are an indispensible part of the progressive base in this country. Political outcomes are driven both by their electoral choices and their relative participation in this Democracy. The 2010 election cycle saw a significant withdrawal from the Democrats among some members of the RAE, mostly because the economic change they voted for in 2008 was slow in coming and progressive messaging often failed to reflect their economic reality. Progressives’ success depends in large measure on correcting this mistake in 2012."
