Democrats’ ideological factions have found common ground after a sweeping midterm victory, according to a new POLITICO Poll. But disagreements over economic policy and the party’s next presidential nominee suggest the truce could prove temporary.

Half of both progressive and moderate Democrats said the party has become somewhat or much more unified since the election, the survey conducted last weekend by PF Global found. Across the party, voters identified the same overriding priority for the incoming Democratic-led Congress: lowering the cost of living.

Democrats’ gains appear to have eased some of the electability concerns that fueled factional disputes. Progressives won House districts and Senate seats in competitive territory, while moderate candidates flipped longtime Republican strongholds. Together, those victories put Democrats on course for their largest House majority of the century.

Two-thirds of Democratic midterm voters now say progressives make the party stronger, up from 41% before Election Day. The share rose from 33% to 59% among moderate Democrats and from 58% to 74% among progressives.

“We’ve got this great big-tent party that’s coming into Congress, and I think that’s what people want,” said veteran Democratic strategist Pete Giangreco.

The agreement is strongest on economic pressure. Seventy-eight percent of Democratic midterm voters said reducing the cost of living should be their party’s top focus, as did 71% of Americans overall.

How to deliver relief is less settled. Among Democratic midterm voters, 47% favored an agenda led by lawmakers seeking major systemic reforms and government intervention to reduce inequality. Another 39% preferred pragmatic, targeted economic solutions.

A majority of progressives, 57%, backed systemic reform. Moderates were nearly evenly divided, with 43% favoring reform and 44% preferring targeted solutions.

Those tensions could shape the 2028 presidential race. Half of progressives said a candidate sharing their ideology would be among the most electable, compared with 36% of moderates who said the same about a candidate in their ideological lane.

For now, potential presidential contenders are emphasizing results over labels. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said voters want government to deliver, noting that “prices are still too damn high.” Progressive Rep. Ro Khanna said Democrats had shown “electability across the board” and should ask who offers the best vision for America.
