  This is a Spiritual Crisis (ft. Ian Bassin)

  Sep 24, 202648 minS1

  As Ian Bassin, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Protect Democracy, said on this week's episode, few people would disagree that we're in a crisis of democracy — but we're also in a crisis of spirit. And yet, it may be the crisis that precedes the opportunity. Because if we can, in fact, Protect our Democracy, we can start implementing real reforms to make sure our country rewards regular people who have good values, not just people who have good financial positions. We have a big fight ahead—but in the past, it has been moments of great conflict that have produced the most positive change. Head to protectdemocracy.org to check out more of Ian's work, including a list of easy, important actions you can take to help ensure our elections are free and fair.

  On the Attack: Battleground Polling in the South and Southwest (ft. Luke Martin)

  Sep 17, 202659 minS1

  This week, the Way team is in the weeds preparing for the final election day push—so we're revisiting a show from a couple months back with Luke Martin, diving into tough terrain for Dems with innovative battleground polling. Last week, we looked at the Part 2 of this research with Celinda Lake (give it a listen if you haven't already!), so here is a look back at the foundation on which we've built the ad work we're doing today. Way to Win worked with Impact Research and Lake Research to zero in on messages that move gettable voters in conservative South and Southwest battleground states and districts. Trump’s catastrophic failure on the economy has unlocked the door for Dems; with focus and effort, they may be able to open it. Rising star pollster Luke Martin and Consultant of Destiny™️ Dan Ancona dig in with host Kerry Eleveld.

  This week, we are joined by pollster extraordinaire, friend of the pod, and President and Founder of Lake Research Partners, Celinda Lake, to discuss the rapidly shifting electorate in the South and Southwest, and just how effective our most recent message testing has proven to be at shifting voter sentiment.

Listen in as we drill down on the messages that will position Democrats to maximize their gains this November.
