The NYT-Siena poll is useful in showing Democrats understand where the party's image is weakest. They're most likely to say the party should move to the center on crime and immigration - these are the two issues where Republicans still lead even at Trump's nadir (poll links in a reply)

Like everyone always, I see this as more evidence for the thing I already believed, which is that voting is mostly based on vibes so politicians should focus on (1) being likable and then (2) pursuing the policies they actually believe in
A new poll from the New York Times shows potential Democratic voters want the party to move to the right, are happy with where it is ideologically, and rate socialism highly. Huh?
