Liberals outnumber conservatives in only 6 states, down from 9

The number of states where liberals outnumber conservatives has dropped more than 30 percent, with just six now in that category: Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington, New York, and New Hampshire.

According to the latest Gallup survey, in every other state but California, where conservatives and liberals split 29 percent to 29 percent, conservatives lead.

Nationally, those who identify themselves conservative hold a nine-point lead.

Before conservatives start to cheer, Gallup said the gap used to be 21 points and a handful of the state numbers fall in the margin of error.

But the survey still shows a large swath of red and pink states bookended by the whole West Coast, New England, and the mid-Atlantic, including the Washington, D.C. area.

The only Midwest state shaded light blue, which signifies “less conservative than average,” is Illinois.

“The residents of most U.S. states are more likely to identify as conservative than as liberal in their political ideology. In 25 states, the conservative advantage is significantly greater than the national average, including 19 ‘highly conservative’ states in which conservatives outnumber liberals by at least 20 percentage points,” said Gallup.

“The study also noted that Democrats registered to vote outnumber the entire population of the United States.”

Where does it say that? You are being sarcastic, aren't you? You have got to be careful about that; the opposition uses such comments to say that we lie. Although, I have read of districts or precincts where the number of 'registered voters' did exceed the number of persons aged 18 and up as counted or estimated by the Census. Usually in places that did not update their voter rolls on a regular basis. Usually Democrat, too.

What is defined as liberal and conservative has changed and most confuse the terms. I would not say President Trump is more conservative than President Reagan. Most of the DNC field running for President are leftists that reach far beyond liberal.

Actually, it will be:

If you want to Live Free here, or you are conservative, you will Die!

Thanks to the migrating locusts swarm of Taxachusetts.

Question for Ex-Masshole New Hampsters... When are you going to start an income tax? Surely your liberal sensitivities REQUIRE you to give more to the state, or at least force those who make more than you green-eyed monsters?

What's that phrase? Eat the rich!
