Kerry Eleveld at Daily Kos:
Looks like that GOP war on “woke” liberals isn't going to be the rocket fuel in 2024 Republicans have been betting it would be.
A new USA Today/Ipsos poll found that a 56% majority of Americans view the term “woke” in a positive light, connoting being "informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices." Three-fourths of Democrats viewed the term that way, as did 51% of independents and more than a third of Republicans.
On the flip side, 39% of respondents, including 56% of Republicans, viewed the term more negatively as being "overly political correct" and policing others' words.
That's a pretty lackluster issue to mount a rallying cry on—Republicans just narrowly clear riling up a majority of their base with the term. Basically, anyone who isn't mainlining Fox News isn't going to be particularly persuaded to vote Republican because of their take on woke liberals.
A new poll by USA Today/Ipsos Poll conducted between March 3rd and 5th reveal that the GOP's "war on 'wokeness'" isn't popular, with 56% viewing woke positively and 39% viewing it negatively.
