Gallup: Conservatives (Still) Outnumber Liberals in 47 Out of 50 States

◼ The percentage of individuals who identify as conservative in 2012 outnumber those who identify as liberal in 47 out of the 50 states, in addition to the District of Columbia (D.C.) according to a Gallup poll released on Feb. 1. - CNS News

Nationally, the amount of self-identified conservatives (38 percent) still outnumbers liberals (23 percent). The disparity between conservatives and liberals has remained consistent since Gallup began its tracking in 2008.

“America has become a slightly more liberal and a slightly less conservative nation than it was in 2011 – based on residents' self-reports of their ideology – but conservatives still outnumber both moderates and liberals,” according to the poll’s summary. “The geographic dispersion of ideology across the states follows what are by now familiar lines of political demarcation.”
