They?ve become more liberal. That?s the conclusion from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. The Center?s director, Andrew Smith, looked at presidential primary exit polls between 1992 and 2002. He found that the fraction of Democratic voters who describe themselves as liberals increased by 25% in the past ten years.

From Vermont Public Radio, John Dillon reports. |
