Does 'electability' really matter? We polled it and got surprising results

An experiment from The POLITICO Poll shows what voters do and don’t care about in choosing their candidates. ㅤ The results cast a new light on a simmering, yearslong public conversation within both parties about what it means to be electable and whether putting forward candidates of varying backgrounds is too politically risky in a close election environment. ㅤ It’s a debate that defined the last open Democratic presidential primary in 2020 and is poised to play a role in 2028 too. ----------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgjtvMmHXbutALaw9XzRkAg?view_as=subscriber Check out our video catalog: https://www.politico.com/video Follow POLITICO here: ➤ X: https://x.com/politico/ ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/politico/ ➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/politico/
