45% of Democrats want their party to be less extreme, vs 27% of Republicans.
On balance, Republican voters are roughly satisfied with the ideological positioning of their party. On balance, Democratic voters want their party to be more moderate. This desire for moderation among Democratic voters is a big shift from 2021. : ezraklein

This kind of polling is worthless unless the pollsters try to nail down what specific issues voters are talking about. Democrats no longer have an economic message, so they've just been leaning hard into
s/immigrants/DEI, all which are losing issues for persuadable voters. Republicans don't have any answers for economic issues either, but they at least pretend like they give a shit about the worsening prospects of the middle class.
