Question 3: The WFP was formed both to deliver real victories for working families and to change the terms of the public debate over the long term. In 2007, do you think it's more important for the WFP to focus on the fights we can win this year (the first set of issues) or the long term fights (the second set of issues)?
| Win real victories in 2007 | 54.31% |
| Push long-term issues | 34.46% |
Question 4: The WFP helped Democrats win key elections in New York, but in the year to come we may have disagreements on specific issues. When there's disagreement on specific issues, do you think the WFP should push the progressive position or support Democratic politicians?
| Push the progressive position | 84.27% |
| Support Democratic politicians | 7.12% |

I am surprised at how few people voted to support Democratic candidates, as during the convention Hillary and company got wide support, even though the WFP disagrees with her on specific progressive issues (i.e., Iraq).
