When I wrote above that "one has moved to the right (center) along both axes" and "someone is completely bucking the trend" of moving to the left, I was referring to Pete Buttigieg, whose economic score has increased 10 points and social score decreased 8 points since July to 28 and 70, respectively. That places him to the right of his position in June, when his economic score was 23 and social score was 73! As a result, Buttigieg has dropped from fourteenth to nineteenth. On The Issues now rates him as a Moderate Liberal. If one wants a major candidate that is a true moderate, it's Mayor Pete, not Biden.

On the other hand, Steve Bullock moved to his left on both axes, going from an economic score of 33 to 30 and a social score of 68 to 70. That, and three candidates to his left dropping out and yet another moving to his right economically raised his rank from twenty-fourth to twentieth.


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