How many of us still believe the result of this Gallup Poll taken January 12,2012?

[Conservative Actuary]

The Gallup data reflects the fact that liberal has a negative connotation. That is one of the few language battles the right has one. Whenever I look at data like this I just combine Moderate and Liberal because they are in a sense the same thing.

It would be very interesting to see Gallup conduct two surveys one where they ask for Conservative/Moderate/Liberal and one where they ask Conservative/Moderate/Progressive.

Labels are difficult to take seriously. Had I been asked that question I would have answered “conservative”. Yet a majority here on FR would consider me at best a lily livered RINO. Had a reasonable description of liberal and conservative views been included in the question we’d have a better understanding of where the country stands. Failing that, we have the election results which gave a socialist a 3.5% win over a moderate. This at a time of very high unemployment, stagnant growth, and overseas crises. That should tell us all we need to know,

So the million dollar question is, “Why don’t more conservatives vote?” Damn it!

Doesn’t 40% conservative match up well with 38% who think you shouldn’t raise taxes?
