32. Voters support the two Santas: liberal govt programs AND GOP tax cuts, there is less support for social issues

So it's a tossup for voters economically. The progressive social issues are what the GOP uses against Democrats because they are less popular-- it's why they were showing the ads about Kamala and democrats being "woke", supporting transgender restrooms, critical race theory, "defund the police", "open borders" etc. Of course they exaggerate these as mainstream Democratic positions, but there are a group of progressives who support some version of these who are sometimes used in the ads.
