Gallup: Conservatives Outnumber Liberals Nearly 2 to 1

Jan. 12, 2012 6:47pm Tiffany Gabbay

While many elements of society seem to surely be shifting ever-further to the left of the political spectrum, a recent Gallup poll released Thursday reveals otherwise. According to the survey, conservatives continue to make up the largest political segment in the country, outnumbering liberals nearly two-to-one.

The Gallup poll shows that 40 percent of Americans consider themselves conservative; 35 percent moderate; and 21 percent view themselves as liberal. The figures are no different than they were in 2010 and conservatives have outnumbered both moderates and liberals for three years running now.

Politico adds:

Conservatives began outstripping moderates in 2008, and the percentage of moderates has declined steadily over the last two decades, from 43 percent 1992 to 35 percent in 2011.

In fact, both self-identified conservatives and liberals have risen in number since the early 1990s, indicating a growing polarization in American politics.

While self-identified conservatives dominate the Republican Party, making up 71 percent, the Democratic Party is more split – 39 percent of Democrats view themselves as liberal, and 38 percent consider themselves moderates.

It might be worth noting that, per the poll’s findings, independents are mainly moderate (41 percent), but veer more towards conservatism (35 percent) than liberalism (20 percent).

The Gallup poll was conducted with 20,392 respondents and allows for a margin of error of plus or minus one.

And we can’t get 1 conservative, like Santorum or Newt. I still like Paul too. But if the repukes put in RINOROMNEY, I vote libertarian, like I did in 2008.

  I’m with you. If the Republicans want to siphon votes away from the only Constitutional scholar on the panel, that’s on THEM. It’s not on ME.
  
  I am going to go and do the RIGHT thing. The RIGHT thing is to vote my conscience, not the collective.
  
  I am not a collectivist Republican, I am an individualist, and Constitutionalist. SCREW YOU for forcing me to vote for your middle of the road John McCain Clone, Romney. I REFUSE.

I’m not gonna vote for corporate sponsored Romney just to get corporate sponsored Obama out of office. The government/media is not going to force me to vote between a douchebag and a turd sandwich.

  Get your heads out of the sand, the repubs and Dems are ruining this country and dividing us. Unless the people realize this it will only get worse, regardless of the party affiliation. How about we vote for someone who is consistent in what they say and do and tell the parties to pound sand!!!

  Lets take in some historical perspective here in order to deflect the notion that Repubs and Dems are equally to blame for the country’s current condition (on any level, local,state,federal what have you). It would be fair to say IMO at least that the 20th century (US politics in general) has been dominated by Democratic Progressive group think (with some notable Repoublican proponents from time to time actually able to shape policy on a large scale). By far though the Dems have been running things in large Urban centers for the last century with near impunity. The creep towards the left that now dominates once great urban centers stalwarts of “capitalism” (like NYC/New Orleans/San Fran, Chicago/St Louis/Atlanta/Detroit etc) as it was once practiced (free of real Gov’t meddling) have been transformed by these same political handlers (in concert with organized labor) to make a pact that has litteraly squeezed the life out of “rational” business practices in favor of “alien” social engineering utopian like collectivism. The Dems and the Progressives behind the scenes have masterfully played thier hands for the last 100 years using the cloak of a quasi “moral high ground” through manipulation of truth, the ballot box (coersion, propaganda, clever reworking of discredited systems, like Marxism) and repackaged that as uniquely American experience that has evovled beyond the scope of the founding father’s original vision.

  The Dems are to blame for this mess, period. Repubs have been cleaning up the mess left behgind by Dems that have seriously mismanaged things…the two worst examples are post FDR and Psot Carter (with post Obama looking like the worst mess in US history) that the Repubs will have to deal with.
  It’s no longer possible for either party to turn thier back on the deficit…the can has reached the end of the road folks. We have a choice to make …Obama or the Republican candidate….a vote for a 3rd party is a vote for “truning your back on the country” when it needs you most. Forget about the small picture since it’;s the big picture that is in grave danger. I don;t like Romney that much but he’ll be a much better Prez than Obama, provided we deliver what is needed in the Senate and the House ( meaning super majorties for Repubs) come 2012. This sweep on Capital Hill is the only hope to drastically alter the Countries ruinous current tradjectory. Keep in mind that holding ones nose and voting for turining things around is far better than a protest vote that allows Obama and the Dems the time they need to finish the job.

  We didn’t know about Obama, we didn’t know about “progressives”, we didn’t know about our history ie: hx of the Democratic party, We didn’t know. I always thought I was a rebel voting Democrat, I thought I was voting for more liberty. Until I began to read, research, question, did I understand. That is my excuse, however I know, and what is the saying “knowing is half the battle”. So the solution is one more off the “plantation” and will vote for who will best represent me, I will not vote “party” I will vote person and if that be Republican then so be it, however I will do my research I will not be hoodwinked again. If my vote causes Obama to win, I will not take the blame, I will hold the two party system accountable. Democrats giving us Obama and the Republicans giving us Obama jr. what will be the difference? no contrast, no choice, so solutions. 17Trillion in debt, 8Trillion when Obama took office.

  Unfortunately not many people do. There are several posters on here who refer to themselves as conservatives when they’re in fact neo-cons, which are basically liberals.
  
  Plus independents who lean right won’t vote for the GOP when we put up war mongers like McCain, hence Obama.

Here’s your guys’ problem: you’re not conservatives. Find a conservative person, take a deep breath, and run as far to the right as you can before you have to take a breath. You’re waaaaaaaaay out there. The views of the commentors on this website are so egregiously out of whack with the actual views of mainstream America that the words “liberal” and “conservative” have completely different meanings here. As such, it becomes impossible to have a meaningful debate about anything because you people speak a different language that actual America.

  I would have to agree with @Tom. Often times on here, I provide an alternative view point without attacking anyone or personally insulting a single person, and pretty much every single time, there is an overflow of unchecked rage and hate that come from commentors on here. Just because someone has a different opinion from you or thinks a different approach to problem could be effective, that doesn’t mean they are anti-Christian, un-American commies who want to bring about the end of the country. Tom is right… people (many Blaze posters, in my opinion) have gone so far right that “liberal” and “conservative” ARE being redefined (as well as “socialist”, “communist” and “terrorist”, with all the new uses being demonstrated… does anyone every use a dictionary anymore? Obama is NOT a communist or a socialist).

  @djm45m – “…conservatives generally work… Lefties generally don’t work full time, organize rides to the polls, and vote multiple times per election and even continue to vote after death…” – What study/evidence is there that conservatives work more than liberals? And as for stealing elections, when has a Dem EVER done that? Bush famously did that his first term (or do you not remember?)…
  as for organizing rides to the polls – how is that a bad thing? Making sure that more citizens of this country actively participate in the democratic process seems like something patriots would support.
  
  @UpstateNYConservative – “liberals hate religion” – really? what about all the liberal religious groups? Or is the fact that they are liberal automatically disqualify them from being considered “religious”?
  
  @HorseCrazy – “this is why they are throwing a gigantic tantrum about id for voting. how else can they steal an election they would have to come up with some new fraud” – there is contention about voter ID because there is ample, incontrovertible evidence that such laws would disenfranchise minority voters and hinder their ability to participate in the democratic process. Since minorities tend to vote Dem and such laws are being proposed by the right, one could make the argument that the RIGHT is trying to steal the election by preventing a significant portion of the population who votes for the other side from even voting.

  Did anyone catch the story earlier about all the empty seats at a WH Obama thing. I seen it on FOX (Megan Kelly) earlier and it was downplayed as not that big a deal. They showed a picture of all the empty seats, With Biden (it was a guess…looked like the back of his head) as only one of a few people sitting in the seats. according to the report most of the people that did not show up “just had something to do last minute, and couldn’t make it.”
  
  The liberal analyst said “It’s obviously not that big a deal, if the white house wanted to fill seats it could do that with no problem. It was obvious that they were more focused on getting the message out over the air waves.”
  
  Why was something so big made to look so small? This is a huge deal and it speaks volumes….But what i like most about what it says is….”Obama’s support is going really bad, and that if Ron Paul ran as 3rd party it would surely end up being a battle between the republican, and the 3rd party candidate……That picture they showed and the story MATCHES the reality I see everyday.

  1. legalize cocaine & marijuana (out of touch with the problems that will cause)
  2. let Iran have a nuke; like that will solve the mid-East problem
  3. cut military by 1/2 and 4 yrs ago it was eliminate the FBI & CIA
  4. Patriot Act is completely wack… eliminate all of it
  5. We caused 9/11, the wicked US brought the towers down
  
  So like Dick Morris says, Ron Paul is the radical left wing of the Republican party.

These polls always strike me as being a little less than ideal barometers. One’s opinion of one’s own political persuasion, I feel, is too subjective to be taken as a benchmark for the makeup of society. i.e, one person’s “conservative” is another’s “extreme right – wing nutjob”. It is interesting, however, and somewhat encouraging.
Just my 2 cents
P.S. I wonder what percentage of Americans consider themselves attractive…

  I for one, am Conservative, so YOU will have to define for me what is ‘extreme right’. All I ever hear about the ‘extreme right’ but never once hear the term ‘extreme left’. Care to make definitions? That would be cute, especially from the liberal camp.
  
  As for people who think themselves ‘attractive’, I submit for your consideration the Hollywood left–all those ‘beautiful people’. Maybe you’ll get your answer there.

  My point was, that though I consider myself conservative, there are people, I’m sure, that would consider me a “right wing nutjob”. Arguments with my “less conservative” friends would indicate that. I was also saying that those that would consider themselves conservative may find me “more” conservative.
  Perhaps I didn’t make that clear. Just got in from a long sucky drive home.

  Our Founders believed only a good and righteous people could possess Liberty. They were right. So lets possess it.

  TRUTH-
  I think you have hit the nail on the head. They use our own positive attributes and integrity against us. I do, however HAVE TO believe that good wins out in the end.
  I just gotta.
  Now, step back from that ledge, my friend.

  I’d like to think we can right the ship but our constitution has been under assault for over a century by progressives and they’ve done tremendous damage to the republic.I do know it’ll take many years to correct it if the next election goes the right way,we’ll see.

Don’t you know? This is a fear tactic, to motivate the Left. Stories like this are to get Obow and Dems re-elected, and to fleece liberals of their money (much of which they got from government handouts).

And yet somehow ( the voting dead?) Obama will be reelected , unless of course Romney wins the republican nod. If it’s the latter ( no connection to his faith) then the Globalists will allow us the “appearance” of change in the white house. But in truth, it shall be as it’s been for as long as I can recall.
One other thought: perhaps the FEMA camps are for the leftists, because at 40% there are not eneough of them to hold the conservatives. Reasoning 800 camps known to exist with an estimated capacity of 15-35 million. 40% of Americas present census population equals about 83-97 million, but 21% is 40-45 million. If we jam them in like sardines before we deport them, they fit.

  Your math skills are lacking. There are upwards of 300 million people in this country. 40% of that would be more like 120 million people.
  
  Aaaaaaaaand now I am dumber for responding to a post about FEMA camps.

  Not necessarily true. McCain is very liberal. We had the choice of Dumb and Dumber the last election. Now we will probably have the choice between Dumb and Dictator.
  
  So this time we will vote for DUMB.

  We will NOT vote for the tripe they lay before us. We will vote principal or we will not vote. God will help us to be free or he will put us in chains so we can see our great need. He did this to Israel of old. Are we too good to be enslaved. But I say we are going to take back this great republic and execute justice on the ungodly who have targeted our children. Death to the new world order.

People who identify as conservatives doesn’t reflect the seemingly three way split between Social Conservatives, Constitutionalists, and Neocons. So while we might out number liberals 2:1 we’re so divided that it really doesn’t matter, does it?

  Correct. I would rather not vote than vote for a war mongering neo-con who just gives real conservatism a bad name i.e. Bush. Bush was a nightmare and conservatism got the blame, which is how we ended up with Obama.

  huh…funny they don’t show up at the polls to vote…so, where are they?
  how do you light a fire under people that you don’t who they are, where they are, WHY they dont’ care to vote
  If they’re working and can’t get off….get an absentee ballot to them!!!
  together we can do this…however, i think everyone is expecting miracles if a republican gets elected…
  This mess didn’t start with Obama, and it will not end with him, unless we elect different reps/senators/judges.
  Obama is just the one who has been the most blatant about desroying our country.
  Where the heck are all these conservatives!?!?!?!? Seems like we’re living in liberal entitlement land

I just love these statistics that come from questioning people whereby 9 of 10 are not even intellectually honest with themselves. That’s why Jesus called so many people sorcerers, because they are. Statistically much science is correct, it’s the statistics that are screwed.

  You see, the earth is like the Lord – ageless. It’s been around and it’s moved here and there, it’s been heated up and it’s been cooled down, and every seed that’s in it has always been. It can be closer to the sun and it can be farther away, and it can be set adrift until it finds another star.

  But people can not handle the idea of ageless in this finite world. You have to assign it a number just like you assign each other a number. But God doesn’t number the Angels in Heaven, nope, and God only knows the hearts of men, but not Angels.

  Me either, and it’s good to see you posting under your name. As long as people are too afraid to state their convictions to the world we will continue to be dominated by the minority. We must all stand by our words or they are nothing but air to be pushed aside as a silent majority that accomplishes nothing.

Old news. This comes out every election year and every time it’s 2-to-1.

If that’s the case, how have we ended up Proggies for PotUS the past six times out? They should do a poll on how many Progressives vs non-Progressives there are.

  Indeed. Even if I disagreed with Ron Paul on everything else, I’d still vote for him purely for wanting to scrap the department of education. People underestimate the role they plan in brainwashing kids into being leftists.
  
  Like him or not, Ron Paul is the only candidate that has proposed a budget that will roll back years of creeping socialism. FACT!!

  I would love some actual evidence/proof of times when the “liberals” were caught lying/cheating/running away @Betterdays.
