    Poll Watch: Conservatives Are Largest Ideological Group, Liberals Smallest

    Conservatives Gallup Poll

    So Says the latest Gallup Poll.

    Thus far in 2009, 40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This represents a slight increase for conservatism in the U.S. since 2008, returning it to a level last seen in 2004. The 21% calling themselves liberal is in line with findings throughout this decade, but is up from the 1990s.

    No surprise here.

    Is there any wonder why Left-Wing activists view the “Liberal” label as an anathema and prefer to use the word progressive?

    All spin.

    But do note:

    • Conservatives – 40%
    • Moderates – 35%
    • Liberals – 21%
