Welcome to NAVIGATOR — a project designed to better understand the American public’s views on the issues of the day and help advocates, elected officials, and other interested parties understand the language and messaging needed to make and win key policy arguments. This edition features findings from a national online survey of 1,017 registered voters conducted May 11-16, 2018. Two hundred (200) additional interviews were conducted among self-identified independents.

Every month, we pick a few topics for exploration. The topics we select aren’t meant to cover every issue area facing the progressive community, but rather to give actionable advice on how to talk about the issues that are already central to the national discussion.
This month we focused on:

Topic 1: A special counsel investigation reality check: Less about Russia, more about indictments. What are they hiding? That’s the question Americans want answered, especially when told the investigation has already led to numerous indictments – something many people don’t actually know.

Topic 2: The cabinet scandals: A waste of taxpayer dollars. Most Americans do not know their Pruitt from their Mnuchin, but private jets and honeymoon travel are widely viewed as unacceptable.

Topic 3: Congressional oversight: “Party over country” is the big problem. When it comes to oversight over the Trump administration – on both the investigation and the Cabinet – the public is most troubled by congressional Republicans putting party over country.

Topic 4: On #MeToo, Americans say “both” – as in, both parties should lead. And women across party lines are paying closer attention than men. Sexual misconduct by people in power is a problem for both parties, Americans agree on that. But party and gender drive real differences.
