Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted February 2nd through February 5th of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“This offers the latest proof point that Americans are absolutely finished with woke obsessions being pushed by the Left through our nation’s business community, most particularly the insipid ESG agenda. An elite group of wealthy, radical activists in our country and around the world–who gathered last month at the World Economic Forum–are intent on forcing their beliefs on our citizens. Make no mistake, such policies are not to the benefit of our citizens, and they know it,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “The bottom line here is in fact, the bottom line itself. Businesses that are hell bent on continuing down the ESG path are going to continue to suffer in this tough and challenging economy. Businesses that stay out of politics and focus on serving their customers–on the other hand–will thrive. So, instead of wondering how many diversity and inclusion officers they have, corporations should be worried about how they are intentionally alienating a broad group of Americans who will just shop somewhere else.”
