Only 20 percent either way say the party is too far to the left or too far to the right.

at least not within the Democratic Party, to be clear.

We're talking about voters who lean Democratic.

So it's possible that there are

Lost Trump voters, for instance, who wouldn't have been captured here, who are upset about the Democratic Party's position.

Right.

But among those who are in the Democratic coalition, they're not that upset about the party's ideological positioning.

They are, however, dissatisfied with the Democrats.

And the clearest reason for that is because they don't think that the party has succeeded in stopping Trump, whether that's in Washington or in the last campaign.

That's right.

I mean, when you hone in on that group of Democrats who say they're dissatisfied with the party, more than three quarters of them say that they don't think that the Democratic Party is doing enough to fight back against Donald Trump.

Now, I think it's reasonable to say that the Democrats don't have that many opportunities to fight back against Donald Trump.

And I think it's also worth wondering how much of this is still about the Democrats failure to stop him from winning power in the first place.

I think this can just this question be a proxy for a broader sense that the party has failed in the central mission over the last 10 years, which is stopping Donald Trump's presidency.

So I think the dissatisfaction that voters have here is fairly understandable if you look at it in a broader context.

Yeah, we asked about this in a couple of ways.

To the extent they want the party to move to the left or the right, they'd rather see it move a little toward the center, but not too much.

There aren't like issues where they want the Democrats to embrace the conservative view on, say, transgender issues or something like that.

But they would like to see the party somehow moderate a little bit on these cultural issues, maybe without moving to the right.

And they would like to see some kind of economic populism.
