Extremism Is More Bipartisan Than Democrats Think

Mark Mellman: “We Democrats have some extremists too, but they are far fewer and far less extreme than the Republicans. It’s all readily apparent to us. But not to ordinary voters.”

“Equal numbers see the two parties as extreme…”

“Neither party has a lock on the extremist label. While we Democrats are quick to assign that moniker to the Republicans alone, voters overall and in key segments, whether demographic or geographic, attach it to both parties.”
