Gallup: Liberals outnumber conservatives in only 6 states, down from 9 (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/gallup-liberals-outnumber-conservatives-in-only-6-states-down-from-9)

It would be interesting to see county by county.


The number of states where liberals outnumber conservatives has dropped more than 30 percent, with just six now in that category: Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington, New York, and New Hampshire.


According to the latest Gallup survey, (https://news.gallup.com/poll/247016/conservatives-greatly-outnumber-liberals-states.aspx?g_source=link_NEWSV9&g_medium=TOPIC&g_campaign=item_&g_content=Conservatives%2520Greatly%2520Outnumber% 2520Liberals%2520in%252019%2520U.S.%2520States) in every other state but California, where conservatives and liberals split 29 percent to 29 percent, conservatives lead.


Nationally, those who identify themselves conservative hold a nine-point lead.

Before conservatives start to cheer, Gallup said the gap used to be 21 points and a handful of the state numbers fall in the margin of error.


But the survey still shows a large swath of red and pink states bookended by the whole West Coast, New England, and the mid-Atlantic, including the Washington, D.C. area.

Many of the changes are within the margin of error for the state's sample -- states that barely tilted liberal in 2017 barely tilted conservative in 2018 -- so it is unclear how meaningful these changes are.

A distinction without a difference. If it meant anything, the GOP would still hold the House.

Except for the regularity of the party who holds the White House losing seats in the legislature in the midterms.

[MMC]

The one distinction that means the most.....Repubs still hold the most governorships in the Country. Oh and the Demos need to do some of that BO peepin stuff. Hoping, that the Repubs don't get 35 under their belt.

Except for the outsize loss in this particular election relative to other midterms..

Look, if it makes you happy to believe this matters, knock yourself out.

I thought you were smarter than that.

[MMC]

Oh, and another distinction that favors Repubs.

Republicans still hold more trifectas than Democrats (22 vs. 14, respectively), but expect Democrats to go all in on states with their stronghold.

This midterm was unique in the very high number of repubs who decided to retire and not run for election. The Dems should have gained more than they did. Especially in the Senate where the Repubs were +2. Dems were +41 in the House.

Oh and Repubs still maintain dominance with the most State Legislatures. So another distinction that the Lame Stream Media can't hide.

I mean.....when you prioritize silly shit like transgender issues at the expense of important things, your bound to eventually lose support.

A distinction without a difference. If it meant anything, the GOP would still hold the House.
What it means is that the Democratic Party is the party of both leftists and centrists and the Republican Party is the party only of the right wing at present.

Overall nationwide, there are 9% more conservatives than self-identified liberals. The gap used to be 21% favoring conservatives back in 2004.

Alexa if you read more and read both left and right sites, you may have more insight on whats going on. YES you won the midterms, that has absolutely nothing to do with any polling today. Voter trend can change in a week, the democrats have lost ground since the election, I fully realize you dont want to hear that but its a fact.

Remember something the democrats did 1 thing in 2009 not that cost them the house in 2010, rammed obamacare down the countries throat.

Theyve already surpassed that since they won the house back.Hold on to your hat, trump will win in 2020 and democrats will lose many seats in the house, maybe even lose the house.

The far left and the far right turns america off and the dems are further left than theyve ever been

It would be more interesting to me to see what people think “conservative” or “liberal” means when answering these poll questions.

Frankly, that's a load of road apples.

The Dems gained more seats than in any midterm since Watergate.


The Dems had 26 Senate seats to defend and the Republicans had 9.

I know that no one expected the Dems to come close to taking the Senate until the Cheeto started talking about how he'd *won* it because the Republicans took 2.


At least you've stopped pretending.

Why are you ignoring the seats vacated by retirements?
