Looking at www.globalpartysurvey.org it seems very biased to fit US politics. They classify US democrats as economically very left globally, the same spot as Scandinavian social democrats, that is far from reality. It might be a reasonable metric for other countries than US, but I don't trust it for US politics since it seems to be overfitting for the authors biases of where the American parties should be.
Check slide 24 here, the US Democrats are on almost exactly the same spot as the Swedish Social Democrats (edit or look at 25, it is clearer):
