61% of Independent Voters say Democrat Leadership More Left Wing Than They Are

Who is the party of extreme? With less than 2 weeks to go before the 2010 midterm elections … Democrats take another hit with a poll.

According to The Hill, 61% of independent voters in 10 battle ground states said that the Democrat party was more LEFTWING than they. After months of trying the brand the GOP as the party of NO and the tea Party as too extreme, independent voters in America think that it is the Democrats that are too extreme.

In another potentially troubling sign for Democratic candidates, three in five independent voters in key House districts say Congress’s Democratic leadership is to the left of them on the political spectrum.
 
The Hill 2010 Midterm Election Poll found that 61 percent of likely independent voters in 10 battleground House districts — a critical swing demographic — think the leadership under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is more liberal than they are.

Only 16 percent of independents say Pelosi and Reid — both of whom have been vilified by Republicans on the campaign stump — hold political views similar to their own.

I guess, we are all not socialist now,contrary to the LEFT MSM. As stated as Weasel Zippers, who knew that socialism was so unpopular … um, WE THE PEOPLE knew.Isn’t it telling that polling is looking to blame Pelosi and Reid and not Barack Hussein Obama as being extreme? The Democrat minions are being thrown under the bus.
