Nearly half of independents say Democratic Party leans too far left: poll

Almost half of independent voters said in a new poll the the Democratic Party is leaning too far to the left.

The Hill-HarrisX poll showed that 48 percent of independent voters believe the Democratic Party is swinging too far to the left, compared to 68 percent of Republicans and 20 percent of Democrats.

Only a third of independents — 33 percent — thought the Republican Party was leaning too far to the right.

Overall, most Democrats and Republicans believe their party strikes the right balance.

An equal number — 67 percent — of Democratic and Republican voters said their party is “just about right.”

HarrisX researchers surveyed 1,002 registered voters between July 29 and July 30. The sampling margin of error of this poll is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
