While self-described conservatives do significantly outnumber self-described liberals, the largest group during the modern political era has always been self-described moderates.

Lately, things seem to be changing.

Still the Biggest Missing Story in Politics

In August of last year I wrote an article, "The Biggest Missing Story in Politics," which reviewed the single most important datum in the last thirteen Battleground Polls over a period stretching from early 2002 to late 2008. The critical fact, completely ignored by almost everyone, was that in answering Question D3, which asked the respondent what he considered his ideology to be, sixty percent of the American people described themselves as "conservative" or "very conservative."

In every single Battleground Poll, conservatives vastly outnumbered not only liberals, but moderates and undecided respondents combined. The Battleground Poll itself is a bipartisan poll, combining the resources of the Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners. Unlike many polls driven by newspapers, networks, or other agenda driven organizations, this poll is one of the few which has no ideological agenda or partisan bias.

IMHO, the far left rats have championed so many stupid ideas, it's time to make them accountable.

And to indict, prosecute and imprison where found guilty of corruption, let's get 'er done.

Thanks neverdem. The Whigs peaked and then withered, but were characterized by idealogical and personal rancor. Rather than characterizing the Pubbies (although it more than characterizes political *websites* throughout the spectrum), I think the Whig pattern is what’s about to take place with the Demagogic Party. I don’t think they’ve quite peaked yet, because Obama is about to buy some time among fence-sitters by pretending to be a foreign policy president. His claims that his administration of a-holes is going to impose a buttload of sanctions on Iran over its nuke program are total crap, and will not be implemented; instead, he, Mitchell, and Hitlery are going to start blood-libelling Israel.
