Nate Cohn: “Ever since Kamala Harris’ defeat in 2024, Democratic politicians, activists and policy wonks have argued about whether the party should move toward the left or the center.”
“But in this week’s New York Times/Siena poll, there’s a lot more common ground than one might expect within the Democratic coalition — a group defined here as Democrats, Democratic-leaning independents and independents who voted for Ms. Harris.”
“A surprisingly clear majority of the Democratic coalition is mostly fine with where the party stands on the issues overall. Only 20 percent say it’s ‘too far’ to the left; only 17 percent say it’s ‘too far’ to the right. The dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party seems less about its ideology and more about its failures to stop President Trump — whether in the last election or once in government.”
