Very strongly agree

Yes, workers should be free to switch jobs or start businesses at any time

This matches Democratic messaging that non-competes reduce worker mobility and entrepreneurship; the Biden EO 2021 explicitly highlighted limiting non-competes to increase worker freedom and competition.

Very strongly agree

Yes, they suppress wages and kill innovation by trapping people in jobs

Democrats frequently argue non-competes suppress wages and reduce dynamism; the Biden administration and many Democratic state AGs have cited wage suppression/competition harms in supporting strong restrictions and the FTC’s 2024 ban.

Strongly agree

Yes

Democrats have increasingly backed restricting/banning non-competes; the Biden administration encouraged limits (2021 Executive Order on Promoting Competition) and Democratic officials generally supported the FTC’s 2024 rule to ban most non-competes.

Agree

No, but they should only apply to high-earning executives

Some Democrats have supported limiting non-competes to higher-wage workers (several blue states set income thresholds), but the party trend—especially under Biden/FTC—has moved toward much broader bans, so this is only a partial fit.

Disagree

No, companies must be able to protect trade secrets and training investments

Democrats acknowledge trade secrets can be protected, but typically favor narrower tools (NDAs, trade secret law) over broad non-competes; this rationale is more aligned with business-oriented opposition to bans than the party’s current direction.

Strongly disagree

No

A blanket “No” conflicts with the party’s recent pro-labor, pro-competition stance and support for major limits on non-competes (e.g., Biden EO 2021; broad Democratic support for FTC action).

Very strongly disagree

No, the government has no right to interfere in private contracts

The ‘no right to interfere in private contracts’ framing is strongly at odds with Democratic support for labor standards and regulation; Democrats have backed government intervention to curb non-competes as unfair/anticompetitive (Biden EO 2021; FTC support).
