New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal — it's being seen as too weak

Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats — and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

@glyph That Democrats are rated higher on both Competent and Ineffective is somewhat amusing to me. I suppose we all have different ideas of what competence looks like.

@seanmiddleditch It is funny, but it also scans, to me. Competent = if you give them the job, they will do the job and do it well. Ineffective = they will not do anything to go and take the job unless it is specifically put in front of them in a risk-free context. This is vaguely what *I* believe about the party
