The Progressive Majority: Why a Conservative America is a Myth

An interesting report. The majority of Americans - about 2/3 - identify themselves as moderates or liberals. But about 1/3 of Americans cannot identify which of the two major parties is considered more conservative, demonstrating once again that we have too many ignorant people in this country.

As all the data presented in this report make clear, whatever Americans choose to call themselves, on issue after issue -- economic, social, security, and more -- majorities of the public find themselves on the progressive side. And on many of the most contentious "culture war" issues, the public has been growing more progressive year after year. Much of the news media seems not to have noticed. But the facts are too clear to ignore.
