Democrats are expressing concern over a recent poll indicating that former President Trump is perceived as more moderate compared to Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite longstanding Democratic efforts to portray Trump as an extremist, the poll reflects that GOP portrayals of Harris as overly liberal have been more impactful. Democratic strategists are emphasizing the need for sharper messaging to counter the perception of Trump’s moderation. The poll shows a significant portion of voters view Harris as "too liberal," while a smaller percentage see Trump as "too conservative." Efforts by Harris to adopt more centrist stances, particularly on taxation and fracking, seem not to have significantly altered public perception. The persistence of her earlier, more liberal positions during the 2020 campaign continues to affect her image. Meanwhile, Trump’s shifting stances on key issues like Social Security cuts and abortion appear to have softened his image among moderate voters.
