Its more accurate to say that leftist policies polled well, which they always do. I think the main issue is that people don't really trust democrats to do anything they say they want to do.

Hilary and Kamala also polled well... Pretty sure all these polls prove is that polls are not reliable.

Nobody trusts the polls now. They have been comically wrong for a while.
