187. As it turns out, I DO have some 2014 data

Fri Dec 5, 2014, 04:58 PM

Dec 2014

But first things first:

>He received 86 percent support from liberals (89 percent in 2008)
>What does that indicate ... a drop off in the liberal vote, right?

Yes, and the part you were careful to NOT to mention was that his (Obama's) support dropped amongst ALL ideologies, but Liberals least of all, while they turned out at an increased rate as well.

Now 2014:
http://graphics.wsj.com/exit-polls-2014/
Ideology: Liberals were 23% of the vote in 2014, up from 20% in 2010.

So Liberals continued to turnout, in fact at an increased margin.

But those Democrats candidates, you know who they didn't convince to vote for them? Well, I'll let your own Third Way friends answer that:
http://www.thirdway.org/third-ways-take/the-impact-of-moderate-voters-on-the-2014-midterms
There is no doubt that moderate voters were crucial to the outcome in 2014, and though Democrats won them 53% to 44% overall, it wasn’t sufficient (in fact, they did 2 points worse with moderates than in the 2010 wave).

So, yeah. Data.
