New California poll underscores how disconnected Democratic elites are

Following Democrats’ defeat in the 2024 election, some pointed to a systemic issue within the Democratic party: progressives and political elites who dominate the party have pushed it so far to the left, that it is out of touch with what voters want.
Now, a new first-of-its kind poll conducted by UC Berkeley and Politico has quantified just how out of touch California’s Democratic political elites are with the wider electorate.
To be sure, this survey was only conducted in one state.
