More Bad News For Dems — Most Voters Now Call Them ‘Too Radical’: I&I/TIPP Poll Terry Jones

The Democratic Party’s attempt to “resist” President Donald Trump is backfiring, the latest I&I/TIPP poll shows. A plurality of American adults now believe the one-time party of the center has gone too far to the left.

Voters who responded to the online national poll of 1,421 adults, taken from June 25 to June 27, were asked the following question: “Do you think the Democratic Party has become too radical in its views and policies?”

A strong plurality of 45% of all poll respondents said yes, while 36% said no and another 18% said they weren’t sure. The poll’s margin of error is +/-2.7 percentage points.

As would be expected, the question elicited predictable differences among Democrats, Republicans and independent and third-party voters.

Among Democrats, for instance, 64% answered “no,” while 22% said “yes.” Republicans were quite different, as befits the current political schism, with just 16% noes and 73% yesses. Independents were at a 40% plurality for yes, and 33% no, with a hefty 27% not sure.

The mask is finally off: ‘anti-Zionists’ just hate Jews by Michael Deacon

What else can we conclude, when activists protesting against Israel scream, ‘F— your Jewish state’?

During an anti-Israel rally in London on Saturday, some participants were heard to scream, “F— your Jewish state”. On the face of it, this may seem alarming. In a way, though, I think we should be grateful to them.

After all, their words should help awaken more people to what so much anti-Israel activism is really about.

Most of the time, anti-Israel activists remember to employ the handy euphemism “Zionist”: a crucial tool in their efforts to persuade the public that they definitely, unequivocally, 100 per cent aren’t anti-Semitic. But on this occasion, it would seem, some of them were so rabidly incensed by the arrival of a small band of pro-Israel counter-protesters, they forgot – and accidentally blurted out what they always really mean: “Jewish”.

Afterwards they must have been kicking themselves. What a careless lapse. Luckily for them, their words don’t seem to have been reported by the Left-wing newspapers that so many of their sympathisers read. But on social media, where users are constantly exposed to stories from newspapers they don’t normally read, there’s a grave danger that the sympathisers will catch sight of the Telegraph’s story, which quoted the words “F— your Jewish state” in the headline. Think how disgusted those sympathisers will be, at seeing the activists so foolishly give the game away.

Of course, this isn’t the first time an anti-Israel activist in Britain has made this unfortunate slip. At a rally held a mere month after October 7, 2023, a speaker disparagingly referred to Suella Braverman’s “Jewish husband” – before hastily correcting it to “Zionist husband”.
