This is really great news! Notice that this is a six month long survey! Undoubtedly, the past two months had more conservatives than the first two...so the numbers are probably understated for conservatives!!! YAHOO! Americans are coming around to Americanism!

That’s the good news.

The bad news is many of them are pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-big government, pro-Obama conservatives.

Self-descibing yourself as a Conservative to a pollster is not the same as being a Conservative.

It’s like people who call themselves Christians, but they don’t really believe in sin, or hell, or the divinity of Christ, or that God really exists. They just like the idea of Church and wedding and funerals having a Minister there.

If someone is a self-described Conservative but wants universal healthcare paid for by taxes and wants universal education with no standards and wants peace without a military... well, then they just like the idea of lower taxes and less governmental interference in daily life, but they don’t really believe in the things that will get them there.

The article said — The news isn’t just that self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals nationwide. That’s old hat. The big news from Gallup is that conservatives outnumber liberals in every state in the union, including supposedly uberliberal Vermont and Massachusetts.

The *trouble* with that — is — these “self-identified conservatives” are voting “liberal”... unfortunately...

[... not saying “all” but enough of them who are “self-identifying” to make that almost meaningless...]

Social Conservatives like me or economic Conservatives ? I'd like to think that we are so off Obama we have joined forces. I am both I am pro life and strong on economic issues. I do however have a friend who is no abortion after the first Trimester and so on. She is with us on every thing else. I think this is a case of (although the poll can't extract it) that those are people who don't want to be called raciest when they say they just flat out don't like the Obama administration.

These polls are very misleading when you take into consideration most libtards identify themselves as moderates and independents—they don’t like being called liberals.

Waiting for Rush to come on the radio at wabc 770.

I think the reporter screwed up on Obama's poll numbers, she claimed his numbers are 57%.
