… An ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that 38% of Democrats or independents who leaned towards the party consider themselves liberal, 39% consider themselves moderate and 17% consider themselves conservative. …
As I previously noted, the time and the moment may be right for Democrats to nominate their most liberal candidate in a generation.
Yet, the ABC News/Washington Post poll and other data suggests that there is, in fact, a lane for someone to make a more moderate pitch in the primary. That is, a candidate who is still more liberal than the majority of Americans, but is somewhat closer to the political center and the average Democratic member of Congress. CONT.
