of Democratic voters in selecting a 2020 nominee, a change from previous years when voters said having the right issues or personality were more important.
Privately, some Warren allies complain that voters are thinking more like pundits than voters, by trying to select a nominee who they think might appeal to a hypothetical swing voters than to themselves. Warren has positioned herself as one of the most substantive candidates at this point, unveiling a dozen policy proposals. She is prioritizing a grassroots campaign and meeting voters, especially in early states of Iowa and New Hampshire. She has already held 46 “meet and greet” events in Iowa since the beginning of the year and hired 80 state-based staff in early states. She’s shunned the high-dollar fundraising circuit and instead spending her time talking to voters.
Many voters at her events say they like what they hear and love her policies, which mostly reflect the progressive wing of the party, but concerns persist about her ability to beat the president.
