Gallup: Liberals outnumber conservatives in only 6 states, down from 9
by Paul Bedard  | February 22, 2019

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.

Yes, if this held out, we would have nothing to worry about.  But as it is, I'd say, it lacks much significance.

Classical liberalism is a political philosophy and ideology belonging to liberalism in which primary emphasis is placed on securing the freedom of the individual by limiting the power of the government.

I've read a few people on the net call themselves "Classical Liberals", I need to read more on this but the above is certainly not what we usually think of liberals as being. The definition is rooted in history.

Now if a 6 turned out to be 9
I don't mind, I don't mind
If all the hippies cut off all their hair
I don't care, I don't care
Dig, cause I got my own world to live through
And I ain't going to copy you

The only thing I'm concerned about here is that "progressives" and "socialists" may think liberal is too right-wing for them.

Which is why they are desperately (and successfully) trying to import more liberal voters.  And we haven't yet been able to stop them.

The term liberal was hijacked by the left in the US to disguise their relationship to the more militant leftists worldwide.  In the rest of the world, a “liberal” is politically right of center.

Hey, JMyrle....

I figured I was the only one in this forum to know 'bout Phil Ochs.
Saw him more than once.
He was a lefty, of that there can be no doubt, but he did write a few good songs...

Probably the most famous guy who ever came out of Perrysburg, NY.

It also depends on the way that the voting districts are set up.  Certainly gerrymandering would never be allowed. /s
