Shift..

 

CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten reported on Thursday that the shifting ideological makeup of the Democratic Party has an “all-time high” percentage of Americans calling the party “too liberal.”

In a conversation with anchor Kate Bolduan, Enten broke down the shift in the Democratic Party, noting that conservative Democrats are all but extinct, while far left-leaning Democrats are ascendant.

Back in 1999, 26% of Democrats self-identified as conservative. Just 5% said that they were very liberal. It was a smidgen. 

Now that far left has gained considerably in power. Look at this: now we’re talking about a fifth of Democrats, 21% say they’re very liberal. That conservative part of the Democratic Party? Adios, amigos. Could be just 8%. Just a thought.
