“Woke,” a term originating in Black vernacular warning against racism, morphed first into a term for liberal social justice advocates then into a conservative swipe against liberals. The term has no standard definition, which makes polling on it dubious.
Ryan Newman, DeSantis’ general counsel said,"Generally, the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them." And in his newly released book,"The Courage to Be Free," DeSantis himself added a third definition:"What constitutes ‘woke’ is open to debate, but for the left, a fundamental attribute of wokeness is the subordination of facts and evidence to anecdote and ideology.
John Feehery, a Republican strategist who served as press secretary for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, told PolitiFact that"woke" started on the left and the GOP rebukes it reasonably. The poll, backed by the tech industry-oriented, left-leaning Chamber of Progress, ran in November 2022 and didn’t mention"woke" specifically.
"Woke" is ill defined. Margie Omero, a Democratic pollster and principal at GBAO, a Washington, D.C., research company, said"woke" raises an important polling conundrum: If there’s no shared understanding of what a word means, can you still test it? The questions lead the witness. Tatishe Nteta, a provost professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and Gross’ colleague, said including"woke" primes poll respondents to apply their own views of the term and the groups associated with it rather than objectively assessing the"woke" policies or candidates.
