The Progressive Gap: If Only It Were True

The Progressive Gap

Senator Bernie Sanders is frustrated. He believes there is a gap between the American people who are increasingly embracing progressive values and what's going on in Congress.

"The American people are way, way ahead on matters of the economy, war, global warming," he says, over coffee with a small group of reporters.

Well, the polls quoted are interesting, but one of them boasts only a 2% majority for progressives on an issue. If only this were true, that people in this country are much more progressive than our current elected leaders. There would be hope for the future.
