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.
