Survey: Democrats Favor Moderate Stance for 2028 Candidate

52 percent say Democratic presidential nominee should move party to center​

More than half of likely Democratic voters in a new survey said the party’s next presidential candidate should reposition the party ideologically along more moderate lines.

The New York Times/Sienna poll released Wednesday found that 52 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning respondents believe the party’s 2028 presidential nominee must move the party back to the center in order to win.

When asked about specific issues, 50 percent of respondents said they would like the candidate to move the party to the center on crime and 46 percent on immigration. On the issue of healthcare, 45 percent said they would like the candidate to move the Democratic Party to the left, while about a quarter each said they should stay the same or move it to the center.

Fifty-five percent of Democrats said they are generally satisfied with the party, while only 31 percent of Democratic-leaning independent voters said the same. Ninety-eight percent of voters in this independent group expressed dissatisfaction with the Republican Party.

I am firmly in that majority of Democrats that understand that our party will destroy itself if it doesn't move the center and quickly. After our last Democrat president, it is difficult to imagine voters saying, "let's do that again!"

Of course the most radical among us get all the attention from the media, so a moderate who focuses on governing well and improving the lives of their constituents is ignored because they are too busy giving a platform to radical Muslims who have managed to obtain U.S. citizenship and become office holders, and Gen Zers who grew up middle class and then ran for office in a working class area thinking the masses are gullible.

I've noticed that there are almost no posters on here willing to say "I'm a Democrat." I can understand why; I assume such posters are moderate Democrats unwilling and unable to defend frontrunner (per the media) Kamala Harris. I get how that's hard, but it's not what we need to do.

We need to promote moderate Dems. We don't have to claim that they are perfect, pure, and have all the answers. We just need to say that they - like Democrats have always - love the United States, care about the working class, and admire the successful.

Yes, that is exactly how most active Dems feel.

Transsexuality and immigration should not be "litmus" tests.

1. Promote "moderate Dems"

Then propose sensible policies instead of forcing acceptance and demanding open borders and amnesty.

The democratic party is splitting with democrat socialists forming their own party.

That is what is happening. A home MAGA like you and what you think mean nothing.

You so with. Surprise! It is not so.

Well, that is certainly what happened in 2020.

 

[TNHarley]

There are no moderate democrats. Either you are a statist or you are not.

 

[martybegan]

Well, that is certainly what happened in 2020.

And will continue to happen because leftists can't be trusted.

In fairness, I have heard the same of those who supported Trump, especially the young voters.

I think Trump needs to push against the Neo-Cons and Establishment, He still motivates his base to vote but he has to be smart. For instance, he promoted the fund for those in J6 who had their rights violated, politicians said they were shocked at this, meanwhile they pushed their own private fund of $500M for Arctic Frost. I recall hearing Chicken Hawk Graham pushing this fund aggressively. Meanwhile the voters do not have the same recourse?

Trump needs to play hard ball with EVERYONE. Especially the Establishment. Going after guys like Massie may seem to be a win but it isn't as he thinks it is. Try and get those on his side and confront the Neo-Cons who have never liked him

The majority of what Trump is doing is what he said he was going to do.
