Percentages of conservatives, liberals, etc.

Latest Gallup poll on this subject

"Moderates," in my personal experience, tend to be those who have either conservative or liberal beliefs, but don't like the terms or being nailed down on things. A backup set of questions to test for political leanings would help.

The differences between political ideologies and political parties is interesting.

That 22 percent of Democratic conservatives on that second graph is why Democrats are terrified of anyone who actually has a conservative philosophy, who knows what it means and its philosophical and historical origins, and can explain that clearly to Americans. 1980, 1984, 1994.

You want to know who threatens the Democratic Party, watch which people they try to wreck. I've noticed that they are so sensitive on this, that they will shitstorm even conservatives with extremely feeble philosophical underpinnings if they have "dangerous" views and the ear of the public.
