The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) recently commissioned a national survey by IMPACT Research of midterm voters’ attitudes on competition issues across a variety of industries. The survey found that inflation is top of mind for likely 2022 voters, not competition in the technology industry. The voters polled prefer legislative actions focused on personal privacy and national cybersecurity, not antitrust issues.
According to IMPACT Research’s findings, supporting drastic legislation like the anti-tech antitrust bill pushed by Senators Klobuchar and Grassley is more likely to harm congressional candidates than help them. Voters are more inclined to vote for candidates focused on kitchen-table issues like inflation, protecting Medicare and Social security, cutting taxes on the middle class, and lowering health care costs.
The memo on this exclusive polling can be found here.
