POLL: Voters more likely to see Dems as dominated by extremists
The Hill ^ | October 14, 2010 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 10/14/2010 8:09:14 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Likely voters in battleground districts see extremists as having a more dominant influence over the Democratic Party than they do over the GOP.

This result comes from The Hill 2010 Midterm Election Poll, which found that 44 percent of likely voters say the Democratic Party is more dominated by its extreme elements, whereas 37 percent say it’s the Republican Party that is more dominated by extremists.

The revelations in a survey of 10 toss-up congressional districts across the country point to problems for Democrats, who are trying to motivate a disillusioned base and appeal to independents moving to the GOP ahead of the Nov. 2 election.

The polling firm Penn, Schoen and Berland conducted the survey, contacting 4,047 likely voters by phone between Oct. 2 and Oct. 7. The margin of error for this sample is 1.5 percent.

But... but I thought it was the Republican party that was hijacked by Tea Party extremists?

More truth needs to be spread as the number for the dumbs is way to low, and the republicans is way to high.

Because they are.

Right now Ron Klein is running ads calling Allen West an extremist.

I so much want to see Ron Klein lose. I mean, he is ALREADY a loser—but to see him defeated in the election would be doubly sweet.

The left wing media HAS to be in panic mode. They’ve been calling conservatives “extreme” for years and now people are starting to question it. Less and less cool aid drinkers and a lot more tea (party) drinkers.

When Obama started governing, the masks came down and voters saw what marxists and socialists the Democrats truly were. ObamaCare was the last straw for many.

They really can’t portray themselves as mild-mannered centrists any more, regardless how many times they tell themselves.
