Welcome back to the Data for Progress newsletter, your weekly update on our research, blog posts, and memos.

There were several key winners and losers in the New York primaries on Tuesday. One of the big winners was the accuracy of our polling — huge shoutout to our phenomenal polling team, who hit the nail on the head with our last New York poll.

(Just kidding — HUGE congratulations to actual winner India Walton, who we endorsed ([link removed]) with Lead Locally!)

But we are proud to have outperformed every other pollster in the NY races, with a lower error rate and more races polled than any other publicly released polls in the month of June.

Here are some other highlights from DFP over the past week:

Bernie Sanders, Pramila Jayapal, and Medicare Expansion — oh my!

We were delighted to have Senator Sanders and Representative Jayapal on the DFP blog this week, with a piece ([link removed]) about expanding Medicare by dropping its eligibility age, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and having it cover hearing, vision, and dental benefits. Our polling with Social Security Works found that Americans overwhelmingly support Medicare expansion: 83 percent of voters support it, including 90 percent of Democrats, 82 percent of Independents, and 75 percent of Republicans.

Cake by the Ocean (Infrastructure)

President Biden’s American Jobs Plan contains many key investments in climate infrastructure. One of the most underrated of these? Ocean infrastructure. In a new memo ([link removed]) with Urban Ocean Lab and Center for American Progress, we outline an ocean infrastructure agenda that the Biden Administration can pursue to combat climate change, create good-paying jobs, and protect coastal communities — from building offshore renewable energy, to restoring blue carbon ecosystems, to decarbonizing the shipping industry. Give it a read here ([link removed]) !

Food Procurement doesn’t just mean picking up your Five Guys

Every year, the U.S. spends hundreds of billions of dollars on goods, including fruits and vegetables. As we show in a new memo ([link removed]) , the Biden Administration should incorporate ambitious food procurement policies into its infrastructure agenda — including establishing universal free school meals, requiring federal food suppliers to disclose greenhouse gas emissions, and implementing “buy local” guidelines.

Also check out our blog post ([link removed]) , where we show that the food procurement infrastructure agenda is highly popular.
