1.5 conservatives for every liberal.
=============
Gallup just published its 2019 Survey of Political Ideology.
The WSJ headline:
“The share of Americans who say they are liberal declined in 2019.”
That’s true, but I think it masks some of the survey’s bigger points…
=============
Note that 37% self-identify as conservative .. that’s 1.5 times the 24% who identify as liberal.
That said, liberals’ 24% is up 7 percentage points from 1992 when only 17% self-IDed as liberal.
But, those 7 percentage points came from moderates, not conservatives.
And, the most recent survey results (liberals down 2 percentage points) may be an indication that the liberal uptrend may have ebbed.
Give thanks to Bernie and AOL…
