The website msn.com carries a Newsweek article in which Manhattan Institute polling is reported on the question of which issues voters care most about.
In our survey, people were asked whether students should be taught that America was stolen from native peoples, and that the school they attend and houses they live in are built on stolen land. 90 percent of Republicans were "strongly against" teaching this, while Democrats were just about evenly split across the four response categories—strongly for teaching this, weakly for it, weakly against it, and strongly against it.
Author Eric Kaufmann observes that with respect to cancel culture and CRT, Democrats are split into two groups: cultural liberals (66%) and cultural socialists (34%). Cultural liberals' issues include: "free speech, due process, equal treatment before the law and elsewhere and the scientific method." Cultural socialists espouse: "protecting disadvantaged groups from offense while redistributing self-esteem and power."
Republicans of all stripes tend to share opposition to cancel culture and CRT. See Kaufmann's conclusion.
Cancel culture and CRT split the Left and rally the Right, making these issues are a clear vote winner for the GOP.
Glen Youngkin, Virginia's new GOP governor, rode these issues to victory in a state thought safe for Democrats. Prediction: you'll hear a lot more about them in the campaign for the 2022 midterm election.
