Incredible New Study Reveals Conservatives Dominate Much More of America Than Most People Think

Recent polling has some good news for the conservative cause: More Americans identify as conservative than as liberal.

Gallup’s 2018 tracking polls in all 50 U.S. states asked respondents to self-identify as either liberal, conservative or moderate.

The aggregated results, which were released Friday, show that more respondents identified as liberal than as conservative in only six states. Gallup previously reported that on a national level, conservatives outnumbered liberals 35 percent to 26 percent in 2018.

The states where the number of self-identified liberal residents exceeded the number of conservatives were Hawaii, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Washington.

Gallup’s 2018 survey results reveal a slight change from their 2017 poll, which showed nine states where self-identified liberals outnumbered conservatives.

Strange how ballot boxes don’t agree with these findings, isn’t it? Democrats win through voter fraud.

There is, no doubt, some of that.

It is important to note the study is about self-identified conservatives and liberals.

About a third of voters identify as "independents".

Independents are more likely to vote the way the media tells them to.

No Cali?

Too many illegals in Cali to understand or answer the question.

That is meaningless when you are dealing with socialist revolution.

They have to be put down by force or they will win. It's not a popularity contest.

Conservatives need to move to the cities. Every (or, at least most every) large city, in every state is Dem.

And, their disorder is now spreading to once conservative suburbs of these blue cities.

According to the Gallup poll, here are NJ’s numbers: New Jersey Conservative: 29% Moderate: 37% Liberal: 27%

"Moderate" in NJ means they favor re-education camps for you instead of a bullet in the back of the neck.

Except for the media.

Where is ‘affirmative action’ in the media?

That does beg the question: How do those people who self-identified as “conservative” define “conservative”?

But we still lost the House in the last election.

The six states mentioned have large populations, and hence lots of House members.

If this were really the case the gop would still have control of the House and possibly super majorities in the House and Senate.

We'd never heard of Obama either.

Well we better re register EVERY voter in every state because this makes it look like a lot of illegal voting is going on..and illegal registering, too.

“It’s been true since the days of LBJ in Texas and Bill Daley in Chicago, who teamed up to give the presidency to JFK through voter fraud in South Texas and Chicago.”

Richard Daley the first...perfected voter fraud in Chicago.

Yet red states are turning blue, not vice versa.

Illinois

Conservative: 31%
Moderate: 36%
Liberal: 27%

What’s interesting is that both states lean slightly “conservative,” according to this poll.
