Conservatives Still Outnumber Liberals
Gallup’s numbers are good and bad.
From Gallup: “Americans continue to be more likely to identify as conservatives (38%) than as liberals (23%). But the conservative advantage is down to 15 percentage points as liberal identification edged up to its highest level since Gallup began regularly measuring ideology in the current format in 1992.” Democrats like to describe Republicans as having gone “to the far Right,” but that’s only because Democrats have gotten more liberal. Compared to today’s crop, Woodrow Wilson might appear conservative.
