Does this political forum lean more to the left or right in your opinion? (bias, claim)

If you combine all answers, about 65% of all people responding say this board is to the right, while 35% say it is to the left

Regarding your case, I assume constitutionalists are a bit more to the right, there are many conservative posters on here who keep citing the constitution in their arguments

Actually, there are some to the right who have misunderstood the constitution as much as the left.

Just by reading the thread subjects you have to think that it's 80% left.

Yep and it's mostly the same ones over and over again that start thread after thread. Probably Media Matters and Daily KOS talking points.....

Really? Because most of what I see on a daily basis is Obama and liberal bashing threads. A quick count, although I'm sure I missed a few that weren't obvious from the title, almost 20 Obama bashing threads on the first page alone.

Indeed, sometimes I wonder whether we are all talking about the same forum in the first place

I hope some people see the irony in the results of this poll. I find it quite amusing.

And yet, only 43% identify themselves as right leaning in comparison to the 57% who identify as left leaning. There is a serious disconnect. The liberals outnumber the conservatives, but they feel that the forum leans right?? Crazy.

Yes, it is not easy to come to a conclusion, actually impossible. One would need independent judges who are not involved with this board...

You could always go to the cable news outlets forums less fox.
