Bill de Blasio had quite the reputation as a liberal when he declared his candidacy, but his scores at On The Issues didn't reflect it in June, when he had an economic score of 25 and a social score of 83. He moved into Hard-Core Liberal territory in July, when his scores became 20 and 80. This month, his scores definitely reflect his reputation, as he now has an economic score of 15 and a social score of 85, a shift to the left of five points along both axes and a total move in the liberal direction of 10 points, the most of any candidate during the past month, enough to move him from seventeenth to eleventh most liberal in the field. That makes him the median candidate ideologically according to my method right now.

Excerpted from Democratic candidates continue to drift leftwards according to On The Issues.
