| Poll: Conservatives now outnumber Liberals in all 50 states |
| 2009-08-17 |
| Dupe entry, so I posted the one that came in first Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll — even though Democrats have a significant advantage over Republicans in party identification in 30 states. At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years. In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either "conservative" (31%) or "very conservative" (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004. Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are "liberal" and 5% who say they are "very liberal." Thirty-five percent of Americans say they are moderate. Gallup's 2009 party ID results indicate that Democrats have significant party ID advantages in 30 states and Republicans in only 4. Even though conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states, in 21 of these states self-identified moderates outnumber conservatives, and in 4 states the percentage saying they are conservative and the percentage saying they are moderate is exactly the same. Gallup's results were derived from interviewing 160,236 American adults between Jan. 2, 2009 and June 30, 2009. |

| #2 How much is this part of the Town Hall response - "I'm Spartacus" - in face of those who have displayed unbridled power and arrogance. |
