You stumble about in a fruitless attempt at foraging.

Not only that, but one team is puffed up about being 4% less grossly out of touch than the other team.
I think it's funny because Democrats' entire platform for the past year or so is how in touch with the American people their party is while Trump is entirely out of touch with Americans, and yet according to the poll not only is Trump viewed more favorably (which doesn't necessarily mean a lot considering presidents lately have been viewed more favorably than the parties/congress as a whole) but also Republicans are viewed more favorably.
It's just another one of those instances where Democrats center their entire platform on one issue then it turns out they are the least trusted when it comes to that issue.
This would be like doing a poll about which party people feel cares about the life of unborn children more and it turns out people give the nod to Democrats over Republicans.
Now someone is going to make an ass out of me and link such a poll showing exactly that.

You have two partys lobbying for the crazy people in their party's vote. I never understood why they both do it, its not like Tgo is going to start voting democrat, and its not like Time4fun is going to vote republican. Go for the people at the center not the edges.

I think it's funny that you seem to think Republicans don't shovel the exact same shit and very frequently talk about how out of touch liberals are. It's just that you agree with your side so you don't notice it the same way.
Hey hey hey! While I didn't vote for Obama I was excited at the prospects after he won. I also thought Bill Clinton was a pretty good president, other than being a sexual predator of course.
At this point in time though I am thoroughly over the Democrat party. They are far too gone at this point to coming anywhere close to representing me, since being a straight white male is literally Hitler these days.
I think it's funny you think I said that. And Republicans talk about how out of touch liberals are? Well the polls seem to back them up, especially Trump!
TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
FOUR MORE YEARS!

My view is that they are running out of civil rights issues to run on, so they "invent" an issue. Things that barely affect a minuscule percentage of the American population and they huff and they puff about it so that they can continue being the "civil rights champions".
They will talk about anything other than the real issues which I doubt they have real answers for, this applies to both sides. I sometimes wonder if some of these politicians that get caught in a scandal aren't just falling on their sword to pull attention away from a bigger less "sexy" issue.

You singled out one party as being "the ones who do that" rather than acknowledging that republicans also go out and tell people that liberals are out of touch every day. So yes, you did say that.

He is saying they do it more, I believe.

I "singled out" one party because that's the party that has been big on insisting they are in touch with average Americans. They are the ones supposedly fighting for the little guy against mega corporations, the ones fighting for minorities against the racist white right, the ones fighting for women's rights against a party of extreme woman hating bigots, the ones fighting for gay rights against a nation of homophobes. That's the Democrats' platform for the past several years.
You keep saying Republicans do it too in regards to a story that shows more Americans think Republicans are in touch, especially so for Trump in particular.
Republicans' main talking points the past several years have been the economy, jobs, illegal immigration, terrorism, THE WALL!, repealing Obamacare.
Democrats' main talking points have been playing identity politics and this poll shows it's not working for them.
