Well, this is really no surprise. After the out of control spending of the last 4 years, massive amounts added to the debt and deficit, it's no wonder more and more Americans consider themselves conservative, fiscally, no doubt.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans' political ideology at the midyear point of 2011 looks similar to 2009 and 2010, with 41% self-identifying as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 21% as liberal.
Out of that 21% of liberals, I'd say about 11% must be the far, far Left.

Additionally conservative Republicans are a bit more likely to call themselves very conservative than liberal Democrats are to identify as very liberal.
I can understand why they wouldn't want to be associated with the far Left of the party.
Face it - Conservatism is on the rise...the way it should be, after decades of ruinous liberal policies coming home to roost.

I was called by Gallup for this survey. First time I have ever been contacted by any major polling group. I told them to call anytime, I'd be happy to participate.
No surprise. America is a centre right country and has been for a long time. But there's a difference between "centre right" and "far right". I doubt many Americans identify with the tea party.
I'm dismayed by the decrease in moderates in the gallup poll. The last thing we need in this country is more polarization. (sigh)

Conservatives have about as much chance of putting someone in the White House in '12 as the Chicago Cubs have in winning the World Series for 10 straight years.

Nancy Pelosi was screaming something almost like that Nov. 9th, 2010, too.
Then Boehner fired her from the lousy job she was doing listening to the States and individuals.

I think you're confusing that with Obama's chances at reelection.
