THE PERCENTAGE OF Americans who identify as politically conservative has been steadily declining throughout 2020.

A Gallup poll released Monday found that 34% of people in the U.S. identified as conservative in May and June. That's compared to 40% who identified as conservative in January, which was a tie for the highest percentage Gallup has recorded in the past six years.

Gallop poll? More worthless then a bag of dog crap.

[Zathras]

I’d sure like to know how they are getting this data.
My list of blocked phone numbers is now 10x the size of my contact list.

Who gives truthful information to phone polls anymore?

Given the hatred and doxing of conservatives, people are not identifying as conservatives, not responding to polls. Result is a GIGO poll results.

hmmm...

crucify those who identify as conservative and then notice fewer people identify as such... hmmmm.

[Levy78]

as long as the GOPe is identified with the term ‘conservative’ I don’t blame them...

IMO, it’s time to move beyond the conservative/liberal paradigm. This isn’t the 20th century anymore...

We need to attract far more young people into our ranks and combo over conservative isn’t appealing.

They didn’t ask me.

Americans ADMITTING They Are Conservatives Steadily Declines.

We are not stupid people. Targeting ourselves is not a good game plan.

[SMARTY]

What? Another ‘poll’?

*combover

[Phillyred]

What are we conserving at this point?

When you are being hunted, you don’t identify yourself as game.

Bill Kristol and George Will claim to be Conservative.

I’m a Patriot.

[T.B. Yoits]

The correct survey result would be that more conservatives refuse to answer pollsters.

[Tonytitan]

This is probably true. The number of people who are conservative probably has increased. They're just not outing themselves for fear of backlash. I don't see any Trump2020 bumper stickers anywhere and I don't have one.

Let more fake news like this propagate. Give the left a false sense of advantage and maybe more of them will stay home on 11-3.

[liberalh8ter]

Exactly....In all probability, the opposite is most likely the truth.

[Bon of Babble]

I’d be in fear of my job if I answered that I am a conservative. I suspect there are a lot of us in the same position.

I’ve made it a rule of thumb to never answer polls, I don’t need to be doxxed to my employer.

Who gives truthful information to phone polls anymore?

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I think you have to be naive to think that anything you say or disclose about yourself is ultimately shared, and permanently.
