Few Americans regularly use terms often labeled as “woke,” according to a recent YouGov survey.

The Hill reports the poll, conducted Nov. 13-15 with 1,164 participants, revealed that less than a quarter of respondents frequently use phrases like “safe space,” “woke,” “lived experience,” and “white privilege.”

This data emerges amid ongoing debates about the Democratic Party’s performance in the 2024 election. Some centrists argue the party’s leftward shift alienated voters, while others contend it didn’t go far enough to energize its base.

The New York Times reported that Democratic centrist U.S. Reps. Tom Suozzi and Seth Moulton criticized their party’s stance on transgender rights, a key issue for many progressives.

Survey Results on Term Usage

According to the survey, only 20% of Americans regularly use “safe space,” 19% use “woke,” 16% use “lived experience,” and 15% use “white privilege.”

Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, who lost to President-elect Trump in the GOP primary, interpreted the election results as a warning sign. On her Sirius XM show, Haley stated, “This should be a wake-up sign for companies that had gone woke. This should be a wake-up sign for government where they got so arrogant they started telling Americans what they should and shouldn’t do.”

The survey’s findings suggest a disconnect between the prevalence of these terms in certain political and social justice circles and their usage among the general public. This disparity may have implications for how political messages are crafted and received by voters across the ideological spectrum.
