Voters in several states have approved progressive measures that could not get through a Democratic-led Congress or Republican-dominated statehouses.

More low-income South Dakota residents will have access to Medicaid, and Arizona residents with medical debt will get more protections. Minimum wage workers in Nebraska will get a boost in pay.

On economic issues and health issues, most voters are far more in agreement with progressive positions than with conservative ones.
