In 2016 plurality of respondents said Dems ‘generally mainstream’
A majority of respondents in a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll of registered voters said Democratic congressional candidates are out of step with most Americans.
Asked whether Democratic candidates’ approaches to the issues “are generally in the mainstream of most Americans’ thinking, or are generally out of step with most Americans’ thinking,” 56 percent said they are “out of step” and just one-third said they are “in the mainstream.” These figures are a marked swing from July 2016, when only 42 percent of respondents said Democratic congressional candidates were out of step and 48 percent said they were in the mainstream.
In the July 2016 poll, Republican candidates were seen as much less mainstream than Democrats, with 31 percent of respondents saying the Republicans were in the mainstream and 59 percent saying they were out of step. A slightly higher percentage of respondents in July 2018 see Republicans as mainstream (33 percent) and a slightly smaller percentage of them see Republicans as out of step (57 percent.)
That makes the current numbers nearly identical for both parties’ candidates.
The poll comes as the Democrats’ left wing has continued to grow in prominence, putting moderates and the party establishment on the defensive.

The far left is powerful. They will dominate the Democrat party. The far left has taken control of public education and replaced it with public indoctrination. The media and Hollywood are all in for the far left.
These are the good old days, much more troubling times are ahead for this great country.
“If you look throughout the heartland, there’s a silent majority who just wants normalcy. Who wants to see that people are going out to Washington to fight for them in a civil way and get something done,” she told reporters.”
The silent majority DON’T want you to “get something done”.
Leave people alone.
Is this it? :
“Moderate” my a$$.
In the words of Rush, “It’s just very difficult to beat Santa Claus.”....................
“If you look throughout the heartland, there’s a silent majority who just wants normalcy. “
Those aren’t democrats Ms. Busty.
Comey told us all to vote Democrat, but now urges Democrats not to go so far left?? What the heck??
Extent things:
“Marxist Dems meet to save party from the Stalinists”
Anyone “normal” left that party years ago.
May they fail miserably!!
These “moderate” Democrats are decades too late to save their party. Starting with McGovern in 1972 the party has lurched constantly leftward. Socialists and Marxists have long been welcome in the Democrat tent and now have nearly taken over. Socialism will not play well in middle America
Was this conference held in a phone booth?
These moderates are swimming against a very strong current. Instead of joining in the anti-Trump hysteria after the election, maybe they should’ve begun meeting over a year ago. What, the fact that Hillary had to cheat to take the nomination away from Bernie Sanders wasn’t clue enough that a big problem was building?
What are a whole lot of self described “moderate” democrats going to call themselves in 2020?
Republicans.
