Americans want a government that delivers for them
The nonprofit’s research found 24 of 35 voters saw candidates moving toward the extremes, while most wanted Congress to focus on affordability and health care.
Center Forward research, led by CEO Cori Kramer, reveals American voters across the political spectrum share deep frustration with a Washington government they believe fails to address their everyday needs.
Republicans, Democrats, and Independents increasingly view the political status quo as a performance failure, pushing them toward candidates who promise to disrupt existing systems rather than maintain them.
Most participants observed candidates shifting toward political extremes, challenging the assumption that Americans are demanding increasingly radical policies rather than practical, bipartisan governance.
Despite prioritizing affordability and healthcare access, voters realistically expect Congress to focus on partisan investigations, fueling skepticism about whether elected officials will listen once ballots are counted.
Leaders in both parties have an opportunity to move beyond slogans, as voters demand elected officials who can work across party lines to deliver tangible results in their lives.
