New Poll Confirms America As Center-Right Country

Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll.

At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.

In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either “conservative” (31%) or “very conservative” (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004.

Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are “liberal” and 5% who say they are “very liberal.”

Thirty-five percent of Americans say they are moderate.

Don't get us wrong. Democrats hold a significant party-affiliation edge. However, America is still center-right and a Democratic majority relies on a number of moderate-to-conservative members, as that party has a much wider base at the ground level thanks to alliances that date back to the New Deal (blue collar workers, big business, etc.).
