In the past, politicians have followed public opinion. Now it seems to be the opposite, with the Republican Party driving public opinion in a big way. As an example, 20 years ago only about 6% of people thought that a "woman's place is in the home." Now, nearly half of Republican men and over a third of Republican women believe this thanks to the party's efforts to promote this very masculine view of society. Because public opinion is being driven by Republicans, It's having effects on the Democratic party as well with consultants and pollsters telling Democrats to move away from the left.
