Data from a new Gallup survey suggests that close to half of Democrats want their party to move more toward the middle, while more than 40% of Republicans are happy with their party.

      Who is popular with the republican rank and file? A significant number of his own cabinet members from the first term said he shouldn’t Return.

      You’re moving the goal posts for this article as well. Who could Harris have cozied up to that was close to center? Who in the republican party can even be considered the moderate centrists? I imagine the reason Cheney lost her seat has much more to do with faux news dragging her through the mud because she had the audacity to investigate the obvious insurrection that happened and go against an orange turd than her not being “conservative” or popular enough to win.

          Nowhere in this article does it state what questions were asked or how many people were surveyed. I’m sure you could look it up, but I think it’s almost irrelevant.

          FTA:

          This just days after Gallup released another survey showing of the five living American presidents, former President Barack Obama is the most liked, and former President Joe Biden is the least. Forty-eight percent of Americans surveyed had a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, though more people were unfavorable toward Trump (12% answered as having ‘no opinion’ on Clinton).

          Now how is it that Joe Biden, who was a very centerist candidate/president one of the least popular presidents? I suspect that Harris’ biggest problem is that she was a no change from the Biden administration and just not trump. It’s funny, I totally agree she should have never been anywhere near the Cheney’s. Walz was a great choice for VP, and I think the only smart decision of her “campaign”. Maybe if she had courted the same people that supporter Bernie or even AOC she would have had much better results.

              Seeing as trump got about the same amount of votes as the last election, the deciding factor was the amount of “Democrats” that stayed home. I doubt there is much overlap between those who voted for Obama and then saw what trump did the first go around and said yeah, they want some more of that.

              I’m taking biden’s voting record as proof he was a centerist. The media plays whatever makes them the most money. 24hr news networks need to die off. It’s painfully obvious when articles like this.

              I agree being a centerist is suicide. The left needs to pull the right back to the middle a lot more than the other way around.
