The Democrat doom loop is continuing to destroy the left-wing party with a new poll finding that most voters now feel that the Democrats are just too radical to earn support.
The I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,421 U.S. adults was taken at the end of June and asked, “Do you think the Democratic Party has become too radical in its views and policies?”
Apparently, the answer was yes.
Per Issues and Insights:
A strong plurality of 45% of all poll respondents said yes, while 36% said no and another 18% said they weren’t sure. The poll’s margin of error is +/-2.7 percentage points.
As would be expected, the question elicited predictable differences among Democrats, Republicans and independent and third-party voters.
Among Democrats, for instance, 64% answered “no,” while 22% said “yes.” Republicans were quite different, as befits the current political schism, with just 16% noes and 73% yesses. Independents were at a 40% plurality for yes, and 33% no, with a hefty 27% not sure.
But a key point to make with regard to the political breakdown is that more than one-in-five Democrats believe their party is too radical, sharply reducing the number of reliable votes for the party come election time.
I&I has far more analysis at the link, but this is a major crack in the Democrat coalition. This will only continue to widen as the Democrats continue to careen to the extreme left.
There are only two possible inflection points, here. One is if a very popular candidate who hews to the center grabs control of the party, and the other is more dire for both America and the Democrats.
Unless a charismatic candidate who hews toward the center (think the “third way” of Bill Clinton — even though he proved to be a liar about his centrism) takes control of the party, the second inflection point can’t happen for a decade or ore and it won’t be until after the Democrats go so far left that they become a meaningless minority in Washington D.C.
Regardless, we are now witnessing the beginning of a long slide into powerlessness for the Democrats.
