A think tank named Third Way has surveyed Americans to try to understand where we stand politically. See what they found.
The American electorate has long leaned more conservative than liberal, with a plurality of voters describing themselves as moderate. This ideological asymmetry means that Democratic presidential campaigns can only win if they woo a supermajority of moderate voters…Harris did win moderates [in our survey], but only by a 10-point margin—52 percent to 42 percent. That simply wasn’t enough to win an election as a Democrat in this center-right country.
Trump sees this more clearly than Democrats do, and it’s no wonder. In their shoes would you want to admit to minority status?
