About half of all Americans believe both major political parties are in need of more moderate candidates, and they are just as likely to view the Democratic party as extreme as they are the Republican party, according to a new survey.
But the LX News/More in Common/YouGov poll found a plurality of independent voters believed the Democratic party and the Republican party both needed more moderates.Democrats were virtually split on whether their own party needed more moderates , while Republicans were significantly less likely to believe the GOP needed more moderates
Respondents who said they would “definitely” vote this fall were much more likely to be from the Silent Generation , the Baby Boomer generation or Generation X than the Millennial generation or Generation Z . "If you're out there trying to get young Americans to the polls in the midterms, we really need to equip them with knowledge, resources, and with the time and space to go and participate and feel like they know enough," Vallone said."There's a lot of Americans out there who could potentially be persuaded to engage this fall."
Americans without a college degree were less likely to say they will definitely vote, compared to those with a four-year degree or those with a postgraduate degree Most adults see voting as an effective way to influence politics, but Generation Z adults and Millennials are more likely than older generations to also see protesting and social media as effective tools for change.
