In this episode, Jesse Nguyen of the Democracy Group speaks with Paul Oshinski, research manager at More in Common, about their extensive study titled 'Beyond MAGA.' The study, which included over 18,000 survey responses and 13 focus groups, aimed to understand the nuances within the Trump voter base. They discuss the segmentation of Trump voters into four distinct groups, their attitudes towards Trump’s policies, and their views on key issues like immigration and democracy. The episode also touches upon the surprising demographic diversity within Trump's coalition and the role of economic concerns in shaping voter preferences. Lastly, upcoming webinar details are provided for those interested in a deeper dive into the study's findings.
