Gallup Poll: Conservatives Out-Number Liberals In Every U.S. State

From Fire Andrea Mitchell:

11:06 PM (1 hour ago)Gallup poll: Conservatives outnumber liberals in every U.S. statefrom Fire Andrea Mitchell! by adminGenerally it’s been shown that about 40% of the country considers themselves “conservatives” while only about 20% consider themselves “liberals.” The remaining 40% usually identify as moderates. But how does it break down state by state? A new Gallup poll released today kind of surprised me. Even in the progressive liberal hell hole states like Vermont, Minnesota, California, Rhode Island, New York, Massachusetts, etc, conservatives outnumber liberals in all 57.. errr i mean 50 states. The only “region” of the country that identifies itself as more liberal than conservative is no surprise, – the sh*thole known as Washington D.C.






Mississippi is the first state to exceed 50% conservative identifiers in the three years Gallup has compiled ideological identification at the state level.



The top 10 rankings make clear that conservative identification is much more common than liberal identification, with each of the top 10 conservative states at or above 45% identification and only the District of Columbia exceeding 31% liberal identification. In the nation as a whole, Americans are about twice as likely to identify as conservative as they are to identify as liberal, a pattern that has persisted for many years. Americans are also more likely to say they are conservative than moderate.



Not surprisingly, then, conservatives outnumber liberals in every U.S. state. Only in the District of Columbia do liberal identifiers exceed conservative identifiers (41% to 18%). Vermont (30.7% conservative to 30.5% liberal), Rhode Island (29.9% to 29.3%), and Massachusetts (29.9% to 28.0%) have the closest state-level division between conservatives and liberals.
