Poll: US independent voters back some progressive goals
The poll shows independent voters support some progressive ideas, and 64% back government-run health care, helping insurgent Democrats challenge the party establishment.
On Wednesday, Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed campaigned in Detroit, discussing his background as former executive director of the Detroit Health Department.
Progressive Democratic proposals including "Medicare for all" and new taxes on billionaires powered insurgent candidates to primary victories this year, shaking the party establishment.
The Senate race is expected to be a highly competitive contest, with independent voters who could be decisive remaining a key focus for both campaigns.
Poll results suggest independent voters support government-provided healthcare coverage for all Americans, with about 64% backing the idea compared to 15% who oppose it.
Democrats must balance progressive agendas while maintaining congressional majorities for the next two years, as party establishment monitors how candidates perform across the broader electorate.
