Democrats are voicing frustrations at polling that shows more voters see former President Trump as the moderate candidate in the presidential race against Vice President Harris.
Democrats for years have cast Trump as an extremist who is a threat to democracy. But a poll released by The New York Times and Siena College found more voters see Harris as too liberal than see Trump as too conservative.
Democrats in Congress were stunned by the notion that Trump could be viewed as the more moderate figure.
“This may be the first question posed to me during my six years for which I don’t have an immediate response, because it seems so incongruent with what I think to be reality,” said Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.).
“It’s a mind-blowing contention that he’s the more moderate candidate. I’m literally speechless, other than recognizing that the perception must be — especially amongst right-wing media — that she’s just an uber-leftist,” he said. “And I don’t think that’s who she is.”
Rep. Katherine Clark (Mass.), the Democratic whip, delivered a similar message of disbelief.
“The poll that matters is on Election Day, and I don’t think that Donald Trump is getting elected for his moderate views,” she said. “And if we’re now calling a national abortion ban, taking away veterans’ benefits, closing our public schools, moderate — god help us all.”
The survey suggests GOP attacks on Harris have been effective in painting her as farther to the left and that Democratic attacks on Trump as an extremist have not landed as solidly.

But they live in their own little bubble world.
And who WOULDN'T look moderate compared to militant leftist loon Harris?
Democrats live the lie.
And people whose very existence is based on the lie are confused and baffled by factual truth. Bless their hearts.
And what will Democrats do with knowledge? Moderate? Lmao. Their whole ideology is extreme. Socialism is extreme, MAGA is MAGA.
During these trying times, several things are called for. Moderation doesn’t number among them.
It’s not enough that they rig debates and elections. They have to control your thoughts too.
Why would Deep State/s try to assassinate a moderate...?
They should just declare the poll a hate crime and investigate everyone who responded to it.
