Liberals outnumber conservatives in only 6 states, down from 9
Washington Examiner ^ | February 22, 2019 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 02/22/2019 7:47:43 PM PST by EdnaMode

The number of states where liberals outnumber conservatives has dropped more than 30 percent, with just six now in that category: Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington, New York, and New Hampshire.

According to the latest Gallup survey, in every other state but California, where conservatives and liberals split 29 percent to 29 percent, conservatives lead.

Nationally, those who identify themselves conservative hold a nine-point lead.

Before conservatives start to cheer, Gallup said the gap used to be 21 points and a handful of the state numbers fall in the margin of error.

But the survey still shows a large swath of red and pink states bookended by the whole West Coast, New England, and the mid-Atlantic, including the Washington, D.C. area.

The only Midwest state shaded light blue, which signifies “less conservative than average,” is Illinois.

“The residents of most U.S. states are more likely to identify as conservative than as liberal in their political ideology. In 25 states, the conservative advantage is significantly greater than the national average, including 19 ‘highly conservative’ states in which conservatives outnumber liberals by at least 20 percentage points,” said Gallup.

White liberals don’t breed, which is why they created their “coalition of the ascendent” which is nothing more than a mass of Third Worlders deliberately trapped as an underclass and told it’s White people’s fault. The problem is as we see with Ocasio is inevitably they aren’t going to want white liberals as their “White Savior” and will demand power for themselves. This coalition is also doomed because the minorities they rely on like Muslims and Latinos don’t like things like trannies and the homosexual agenda and are already buckling because freebies increasingly don’t make up for having to have drag queens read to their kids in school.

If 6 turned up to be 9, I don’t mind.

New Hampshire

Bad news for what was once quite a conservative state.

California has as many conservatives as liberals yet Democrats win the state in a landslide. Hmm.....

Traditionally, many Democrat voters don't describe themselves as liberals.

the big problem in California is that the demacrat party has been stealing elections the last 30 years. the voter fraud has been institutionalized.

Unfortunately, they’re moving to conservative states and then voting for what they fled.

I suspect that most self-described moderates are really liberals.

The study also noted that Democrats registered to vote outnumber the entire population of the United States.

It is puzzling. Most California counties went for Trump, but the high population Liberal coastal counties, where many immigrants from other states migrate to, overwhelmed the mostly conservative interior.

Same thing in Konnecticut - Repubs win 98% of the towns, but the 2% Dem towns are the biggest ones: Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury, etc.

Yeah we’ll see in Virginia in November. Republicans have majority by 1. If this is true, we should gain. Not holding my breath.

The “Road to Serfdom” is so appealing to so many. They seem to be winning, by hook or by crook.
