Reminder: Most people are conservatives

In my opinion, obama and the Dems. at present, have reminded people of their conservatism. One reason obama won the election was because the voters wanted "change" from Bush's liberal tendencies and a "hope' that obama would restrict the Dem congress from their "progressive" ideology.

They learned that voting liberal to constrain liberals doesn't work. Look for a huge backlash in Nov. and again in 2012.

The current AP/Roper poll indicates most of us are “moderates”, but that’s not true. The sample – and how you ask the question – is very important. AP/Roper consistently shows one-third of the population describes themselves as moderate, while the George Washington University Battleground Poll consistently shows almost two-thirds of registered likely voters are somewhat or very conservative.

Only 2 percent describe themselves as moderate in the Battleground Poll. How can the discrepancy be explained?

In a recent blog post, Rick Green at the Hartford Courant simply copy and pastes one section from page 54 of a 65 page release with current and past poll results in an attempt to prove a point. The question (G11a) simply asks, generally speaking, do you consider yourself a liberal, moderate, or conservative? If – and only if – you answered liberal or conservative, the poll taker is directed to dig deeper and determine if you are somewhat or strongly liberal or conservative.

The AP/Roper poll throws a wide net, asking 1,000 adults the question. It did not matter if those asked are registered voters or even likely to vote.

The April 2010 Battleground Poll – of which I’ve referred to in multiple blog posts – asks their question a bit differently and queries 1,000 registered, likely voters.

If you only give respondents three options – conservative, liberal or moderate – I’m certain a good percentage would choose moderate to distance themselves from what is described by the media as the “far” right and left. They choose the safe “moderate” option.

Battleground takes a much better approach, immediately providing respondents with six options – very conservative, somewhat conservative, moderate, somewhat liberal, very liberal or unsure – and on top of that, the question is specific to politics and government. They clearly provide the same opportunity to chose “moderate.”

For the Battleground Poll question – when thinking about politics and government, do you consider yourself to be… – results have been consistent as well, showing a combined six in 10 registered, likely voters consider themselves either somewhat or very conservative. Very few – 2 percent in the April poll – chose “moderate” in the Battleground Poll. Most people are not “in the middle.”

Nope anyone that disagrees with you or your bretheren is a "liberal" no matter what. Dang I wish I could be a one-dimensional thinker like you for a while life would be so simple then.

that is interesting-
all the liberals added together don't even measure up to the somewhat conservatives- just like real life shows.
look at the percentages on here.
if the libtards weren't being artificially propped up by the media they would "progress" away to nothing.
it is just unnatural to go around throughout life drinking kool-aid, spouting off talking points and never thinking for yourself.

You claim to be seventy years old yet your retorts resemble those of an eight year old. Must be going through your second or third childhood.

You truly are one lonely pathetic old man. It wouldn't matter whether I replied to you at two in the afternoon or two in the morning. You would reply back in five minute with one of your oh so witty " I know your are but what am I" comebacks.

If none of your conservative buddies can see what a true cancer you are to this forum and have been for several years then they have their heads even further up their asses then yours is.

often it takes two to bicker like children..

and you want me to take sides? who should I side with, a 70 year old man.. or the person who insults him?

Bullhauler do you really think you look better calling him a "pathetic old man"?

or any of the other grade school insults you traded with him today...

if you want to raise the bar, at least try to debate his points... not resort to insults and taunts..
