Florida Republican's 'Plan to Rescue America' is showing signs of helping Democrats retain seats in the Senate this year.
In a peek of its upcoming messaging strategy, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee recently field-tested Scott's plan with swing state voters and found strong aversion to the tax increase language as well as the idea of sunsetting all federally funded programs in five years, which would mean ending Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.
“I believe it’s all doable,” Scott said. “Is it hard? Yeah, it’s hard. Or it already would have been done.” “This message drives the largest drop in Republican vote share among voters over 65+, Latino voters, and white voters without a college degree,” according to Blue Rose Research, which interviewed 2,777 voters in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin via online web panels March 25-30.
As for candidates who supported that tax portion of Scott's plan, the survey showed 60 percent of voters said it made them less likely to back those Republicans; 22 percent said it made no difference; and 18 percent — all conservatives — said it would make their support more likely. The voters most turned off by the GOP proposal were voters 65 and over, women and white voters without a college degree.
