Some interesting numbers out of Gallup this afternoon: There has been a statistically significant uptick in the percentage of Americans who view the Democratic Party as "too liberal." 
The survey found that the percentage of Americans who hold that view jumped from 39 percent to 46 percent. That is the highest percentage since November of 1994.

    yeah, and where the hell were they last November?
Why are some Americans so damn dense on such matters?
They always poll rather conservative on things, yet???
 
To: Maelstorm
    So much for 
"the inherent genius of the American people"...!
No new information has come to light. Anybody who didn't know wasn't paying attention--and that ain't smart.

    They are not engaged in politics and sadly just catch the background noise.

    The 8% voting “too conservative” are from Mars...or elected to the house/senate.

    They have failed to separate the democratic party now —— to the democratic party of the past. Do they think they are still following Humphrey/Truman/JFK types?
Are they now realizing what is up? Hope so — before it is too late.

    2010 historically should suck for the dems, many Obama cultists may stay home if they cannot vote for their messiah again.
Right now that is my only hope short term.
If dems actually gain more power in 2010?
This nation is well over as we know it.

    We’ll have to wait and see if this translates into votes for Republicans in 2010.

    “Liberal” is the wrong word. It should be replaced with socialist/communist.
