Democrats Have a Problem with Independents

Stu Rothenberg looks at the recent polling and finds that attitudinally, independent voters “once again more closely resemble GOP voters than Democrats.”

“Democrats can hope that this cycle’s independents really are closet Republicans — presidential candidate Mitt Romney won independents by 5 points in 2012, according to the exit poll — but dismissing the president’s problems with independent voters seems like a risky strategy that looks dangerously like denial.”
