Graham Platner Approval Survey | New. Digital. Now.

Digital Focus Group:

Now that Gov. Janet Mills has dropped out of the race, Graham Platner is officially the presumptive Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine.

Platner has strong grassroots support, but some Democrats are concerned with his history of insulting women and people with disabilities (as well as the Nazi tattoo he had covered up). Some donors have said they'll stopped giving altogether since he became the nominee.

Susan Collins needs to go, and Maine voters should vote for Platner. But as we finalize our national strategy to deploy our grassroots media technology for the midterms, we need to hear from you:

Do you approve of Graham Platner as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate?

Yes, he's a good candidate for Maine!

No, he hurts Democrats' national brand.

We should focus on beating Collins.

I'm not sure.

I'd like to share my own thoughts.

One last question:

One of our supporters said:

"It's about time you really asked for our opinion. Hopefully it will be accepted without giving money."

We know we may have asked you this question before. Your response today is critical to help us evaluate our long-term strategy:

Would you be interested if we published these focus group results in our own independent report to hold Democrats accountable?

Yes, I would read that!

I'm not personally interested.

Response recorded! Before you go:

President Obama once said

"The people who represent you at the state level have more of an impact on your life than elected officials in Washington."

But as Trump dominates the media with chaos and federal campaigns flood your inbox, organizers at the state level don't have the resources to reach supporters like you!

Here's our plan to fix that:

Discuss and amplify your feedback on our podcast, so your national Democratic leaders know what is most important to you.
Scale our new media technology to replace the annoying spam with real surveys that provide data to support local Democrats!

But we're 100% supporter-funded. And with midterms just around the corner, your support is critical!

So will you chip in to help build the tools Democrats need to win?

That's why we're building this new technology to ensure that your voice is heard by the Democrats who need your help the most.

But we're 100% supporter-funded, and the truth is that engagement has cratered since No Kings Day. We've had to cut our Q2 budget by more than half, and our live tracker shows we're still falling behind:

If we can't close the gap, the rollout stalls — and this critical data won't make it to campaigns in time. So will you chip in to help us deploy the tools Democrats need to win?

Yes, I'll donate $3.40! (Just a dime for each of Trump's crimes)

Yes, I'll donate $13.75! (Our average donation)

Yes, I'll donate $34! ($1 for each of Trump's crimes)

Yes, I'll donate $51! ($1 for every state, including DC)

No thanks, I'd rather donate to Democrats directly.

No thanks, I want to learn more about your work first.

I'd like to donate another amount.

FEC laws prevent us from raising money for individual campaigns in our texts. So we built a cutting-edge dashboard to help you contribute down-ballot directly!
