Liberalism in America is at a record high, according to a new look at data on America's Public Policy Mood. A "measure of left/right preferences over policy choices in American politics," the mood was more liberal in 2018 than at any previous point in the history of recording it.
"The annual estimate for 2018 is the most liberal ever recorded in the 68 year history of Mood, just slightly higher than the previous high point of 1961," wrote James Stimson, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, while sharing his latest findings.
The liberalism mood score for 2018 was about 69.15, according to the data file Stimson shared. In 1961, it was 68.92.
