Gallup: Near-record 49% say Democratic Party "too liberal"

The bad news keeps rolling in for the Democrats, as Gallup informs us:

In the past two years, Americans have become increasingly likely to describe the Democratic Party's views as "too liberal" (49%), and less likely to say its views are "about right" (38%). Americans' views of the Republican Party, on the other hand, have moderated slightly, with a dip in the percentage saying the GOP is too conservative from 43% last year to 40% today, and an increase in the percentage saying it is about right, from 34% to 41%.

Liberalism, or to use President Obama's phrase, "transformational change," is becoming a dirty word.
