I still think Frank is essentially right when he says that the Democrats could do a lot better among the U.S. working class if they weren’t Republicans light on economic issues.
According to Bartels, white voters without college degrees rate themselves closer to the Reps on economic issues, and closer to the Dems on abortion and gender issues. There is not a huge reservoir of untapped economic populism out there, at least among white voters (and, as Bartels points out, it’s a mistake just to focus on white voters, but lots of people want to).
