This would seem to suggest that leftist policies are more popular than the Democrats themselves. Maybe adopting and promoting these policies could bring some of that working class vote back.

Agree with the first bolded sentence, but the second is truly just a maybe. Popular policies that Democrats adopt outperform the Democrats (e.g. abortion rights). And they lost on inflation to a guy who will make inflation vastly worse through tariffs.
