A new Gallup Poll finds 46 percent of Americans describe the Democratic Party's views as being "too liberal," up from from 39 percent last year. It hasn't been that high since 1994.

Meanwhile in the same poll, those seeing Republicans as too conservative held constant at 43 percent from last year to this.

Independents are more likely to view both parties as being too extreme, the survey found. But 38 percent of Independents say the Democratic Party is about right, while only 25 percent of Independents say that about the Republican Party.
