I go to church with conservatives every week. But they're still good people.

Hard to find a conservative anymore, they all claim to be libertarians. I'm guessing that the libertarians will be screaming before to long for them to get out.

I don't hang out with a lot of people but I'd say a lot of people I know are moderate to liberal.

Indianapolis is mixed, so I run into a lot of conservatives and liberals.


Libertarians, not so much.

I'm conservative. My longtime friends are conservative. I take classes with 99% liberals and of which one who thinks communism is swell. I have one friend who always votes Democrat but knows nothing about politics (as in doesn't know who Nancy Pelosi/Harry Reid are). I have a sister who probably can't name the Vice President and I'm betting doesn't vote. I don't know any libertarians

So, it's a mixed bag.

My best friend and her husband are conservative. My family except for one sister are very liberal. The one thing that I do notice is the liberal part of my family are not as informed about politics as they should be. My liberal sister voted for Obama because she thinks he is "beautiful". My brother and his wife voted for him because he speaks well. I have more in common with my conservative friend..but I love my family so I guess I associate with both.

I would consider myself to be a moderate liberal who has libertarian views on some issues and even to a much lesser extent conservative views on one or two issues.

The poll should have really included centrists as an option.
