Leftward Ho!

I've written several times lately that the country is drifting to the left. The following is from today's New York Times:

New Poll Finds That Young Americans Are Leaning Left
By ADAM NAGOURNEY and MEGAN THEE
Young Americans are more likely than the general public to favor a government-run universal health care insurance system, an open-door policy on immigration and the legalization of gay marriage, according to a New York Times/CBS News/MTV poll. The poll also found that they are more likely to say the war in Iraq is heading to a successful conclusion.
With the leftward drift in general and the immigration position of conservatives loosing Hispanic voters; the Republican Party has less and less to look forward to. The Democrats aren't doing a good job of taking advantage of all this but they can't help but inherit some gain.
