Data proves that Americans are not 'center-right' as mainstream media often claims.

America is centre-left to far left. Even a lot of Republicans prefer Bernie Sanders.

Its no wonder policy doesn't get discussed much in the media. If they did, there would be no contest.

mmm the minimum wage poll is damning. at least 40 percent of the country thinks you shouldn't make enough to survive if you work an honest 40 hr week. This is pretty embarrassing.

These labels are are so chameleon as to be ridiculous. Politically, I am a dyed in the wool progressive but I am personally quite conservative in many areas. But that is in the classic sense of wanting to conserve the good and improve the not so good. In fact, to be conservative to the principles of our nation's founding, one must be at least a liberal (as we were the world's first liberal democracy), and to be true to its founding spirit, one must be a progressive. That expectation was clearly held by George Washington, the "Father" of our country, who said it this way, “As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.”

As well as the death penalty another issue that is out of whack in America is gun control. People in the US seem weirdly fixated on guns and they are far more anti gun control then other developed countries. I don't think most Americans realise how unusual this is. A bit like the health care debate where many people don't realise how unique the US is in this regard. Harsh prison sentences is another area US is off the charts and possibly this is matched by conservative attitudes to criminal justice although I'm not so sure about that...

I think what's very interesting about the healthcare poll is how the people favoring dropped below the people the people opposed between the years of 2009 -2015. I suspect the rise of Bernie Sanders increased the amount of people in favor, but I'm curious why there was such a radical drop between those years.

Just a few years ago I would have self-identified as moderate until I looked at it issue by issue and realized I was far more to the left than I ever imagined.

There was a study done on the 2016 electorate which did a scatter plot of voters on an x/y graph. What was really interesting to see is that almost no one was in the lower right box which would be your typical "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" people. That kind of voter was almost non-existent. And yet that's what were told most of the country leans toward, and that's the voter that Democrats keep trying to appease.

Depends on who's asked to take the poll.

The problem always comes down to abortion. 78% of Americans are completely against abortion after the first trimester, and for those people being "liberal" is constantly equated with pro-choice in the extreme which many people shy away from. On economics and the vast majority of social issues people are to the left, but won't identify as such because of abortion and to a lesser extent gun rights. If we cpuld simply shelve gun rights and abortion for a decade and exclusively focus on economics, environment, social justice, etc we would win in a landslide.

Am I right in saying there are many centre-right laws? If so, does that necessarily mean Americans are centre-right? Political views aren't necessarily personal views?
