This is consistent with all past Gallup Poll surveys on this topic. The number of states in which conservatives outnumber liberals has been as low as 47 states and as high as 50 states. This ought to be a very big story, but Gallup, like nearly every other polling organization, tilts left ideologically. As I have noted in prior articles on this subject, the titles Gallup gives to its stories tell it all.

Okay, but what "conservative" means in New York State or New Jersey or Oregon isn't what it means in the most conservative states.

Self-described conservatives "outnumber" self-described liberals in those states, but liberals plus a large share of self-described "moderates" are able to defeat conservatives.

And even those self-designated conservatives aren't all dying to put Ted Cruz in the White House.

Name a blue state in which conservatives win state wide elections. Heck conservatives have lost in red and purple states. For example:

Todd Akin
Ken Cuccinelli
Richard Mourdock
Sharron Angle
Christine O’Donnell
George Allen
Joe Miller
Ken Buck
Alan West
Doug Hoffman
JD Hayworth
