State-by-state more people voted for McCain in 2008 then called themselves "conservative" in this Gallup survey. So the election results of 2008 don't disprove the Gallup survey. I think this poll isn't meaningless.

The problem with that poll then — is “Why did more than 10 million conservatives vote for Obama? I ask that, since the poll shows that there are more conservatives than there are liberals, that means that since the vote count shows about 10 million more votes for Obama in this last election, that means those are 10 million conservative voters that voted for Obama...

This is where you are wrong my friend. Look at the poll again. The poll also offers the desription "moderate" as an answer. That's what you aren't considering. As I said above: State-by-state more people voted for McCain in 2008 then called themselves "conservative" in this Gallup survey.

That is a true statement.

Find the poll and look at the results and then look at the results of the 2008 election.

Your above statement is incorrect. The election results of 2008 don't disprove the Gallup survey.

Well, I have my own “survey” and it goes like this... “If you voted for Obama, you’re a liberal!”.... LOL...

Now, looking at my “survey results”, I see 10 million more liberals than conservatives...

It’s a fairly simply and *extremely accurate* survey, too.... :-)
