In reply to the discussion: Trump in trouble in Florida poll [View all]DeminPennswoods
(15,279 posts)41. This moderate stuff is baloney
Americans want government to work for them and in their interests. Look no further than the election results in my part of CD (PA-17) this past Nov. Gov Wolf and LtGov Fetterman are unabashed liberal/progressives, but under Wolf's leadership the state has actually done things to improve the lives of regular Pennsylvanians. And voters noticed and noted that. Conor Lamb ran as a "moderate" Dem, buying into the whole GOP meme of "liberal" Nancy Pelosi and distancing himself from her. In my county (Beaver, the largest area of CD 17 and generally more conservative than moderate), Wolf got 53.3% of the vote, Lamb got 48.3%.

Neither Gillum nor Nelson appealed the outcome of the election other than requesting a recount.

I think that polls are designed by media consultants to get politicians to spend
