Economy Pivotal to Core Block of Voters Necessary to Win Election, Research To Be Released At Launch Of New Economic War Room
Campaign for America’s Future co-director Robert Borosage will join Democratic pollster Celinda Lake and psychology professor and noted author Drew Westen to launch a major new economic war room on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday.
Lake and Westen will discuss findings from their recent polls and focus groups that show Americans are increasingly convinced the country is on the edge of a depression and that Washington is not responding adequately. The results further show that economic problems are creating deep discontent that may decisively sway large groups of independents and middle-of-the-road voters necessary to determine the outcome of the upcoming presidential election.
The Campaign for America’s Future’s economic war room will deliver poll-tested talking points to progressive candidates, elected officials, bloggers, labor leaders and activists, tying the latest research by the Economic Policy Institute to the freshest opinion research by top strategists.
