Can you please explain what you mean exactly by "economic fronts?" Do you mean there are specific things they're further right on than before, or that they're further right on the economy as a whole? If the latter: what issues are you accounting for, and how are you turning their stances into a clean metric?

    I mean taxing the rich and a livable minimum wage used to be acceptable. But due to the rightward slide, the tax rate from most of the 20th century and livable single income minimum wages would be considered radical now.

    If I were to guess, I'd say, the left is winning on social fronts. IE Say topics like gay marriage, Partial legalization of pot etc... would never have even been on the table 40 years ago.

    Now admitted, The current position of the pieces of the country is poised in a way that we are very likely to take huge backslides on those issues.
