One important reason that Trump is ahead in polls is that voters support a lot of his policy ideas. Building the wall, deputizing the national guard to round up illegal immigrants, even the 10% tariff—all double-digit net support.

The share of Democrats calling themselves "liberal" has been rising for decades, but only cumulated to a majority of the party in the last few years. I argue that this was driven by rising educational attainment/polarization and the end of Jim Crow.
