Political Parties: Democrats have been very busy lately trying to tell the public that theirs is not an extremist socialist party. But the public sees through the smoke screen. Just a third now see the Democratic Party as mainstream.
This month, the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll asked if the public believed that Democratic candidates for Congress were "in the mainstream," or "out of step."
Just 33% said they felt Democrats were mainstream, while 56% said they were out of step. That's a dramatic turnaround from just two years ago, when 48% said Democrats were mainstream and only 42% said they were out of step.
To be sure, the public is equally split on Republicans: 33% say they're mainstream, and 57% say they're out of step. But while Democrats have lost significant ground, Republicans are gaining which is remarkable given the nearly 100% negative coverage the party gets.
The public, it seems, is finally picking up on something that we've been documenting in this space for years. That it is Democrats not Republicans who have been drifting to the political edge.
We took a close look at IBD/TIPP poll results back in 2013 and found that on issue after issue Democrats were out of touch with mainstream America.

“while 56% said they were out of step”
So, batsh*t crazy is now referred to as “out of step”?
DIms/LIBs are lunatics to be crushed. No exceptions...no quarter.
“What, Us Socialists? Dems Try To Deny What Their Party Is Fast Becoming”
The title is WAY off.
It is not that the Dims are “fast becoming” socialists, that would be a lie. The facts are - in terms of policy preferences - they have been socialists for years.
The only difference between those openly proclaiming they are socialists now, and many long time Dims, is that many long time Dims have either merely kept their admission of their socialist thinking unstated, publicly, and many others have simply been in denial of how much Marxist indoctrination they have accepted.
As far as the latter case goes, that denial stems from how those who indoctrinated so many Liberals simply never openly stated the Marxist origins of their thinking, letting their “students” think the line they are being sold is merely that of a “Liberal”.
