A memo sent out by a Democratic pollster following Glenn Youngkin’s victory in the Virginia gubernatorial race warns Democrats that the party “has a problem” heading into the 2022 midterms and 2024 presidential election.
“[I]f we are running 2022 on ‘Republican candidate = Trump,’ we’re getting killed,” Democratic pollster Brian Stryker wrote in a memo last month outlining several “challenges” the party will have to win going forward.

“Our weak national brand left us vulnerable. Voters couldn’t name anything that Democrats had done, except a few who said we passed the infrastructure bill,” Stryker wrote. “That bill didn’t overcome their opinions that we have spent the last year infighting and careening from crisis to crisis.”
Stryker explained that Democrats don’t seem to understand that voters are “unhappy with the direction of the country” and “believe that the economy is bad.”

Stryker also said he believes voters view Democrats as a party that focuses too much on social issues rather than the economy.
“I would tell them that we have a problem,” Stryker told the New York Times. “We’ve got a national branding problem that is probably deeper than a lot of people suspect. Our party thinks maybe some things we’re saying aren’t cutting through, but I think it’s much deeper than that.”
