New Gallup Poll Finds 40% of America Conservative– 20% Liberal

Since before Obama was elected, I have been saying I thought his election would ultimately be good for the country. I think I have been proven right.

Here are two stories which illustrate what I meant.

From Gateway:

A new poll released by Gallup found 40% of Americans consider themselves conservative.
Only 20% of Americans consider themselves far left liberals like Barack Obama.

Gallup reported:

Conservatives continue to outnumber moderates and liberals in the American populace in 2009, confirming a finding that Gallup first noted in June. Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal. This marks a shift from 2005 through 2008, when moderates were tied with conservatives as the most prevalent group.

From Michelle Malkin:

Check this out. Newt Gingrich is on his latest book promotion tour — and his embrace of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava (whom he champions as a “moderate Republican”) is getting heated pushback from movement conservatives in the heartland.

Earth to Newt: There is nothing “mooooderate” about radical leftist Dede Scozzafava.

Here are video clips of Dallas Tea Party activists raising their voices at Borders Books in Dallas. I repeat: Can the GOP hear conservatives yet?

Oh, and does the rest of the media elite finally understand the Tea Party movement is not just an anti-Obama, anti-Democrat movement — but a movement to hold all politicians’ feet to the fire?

Here Gingrich worries about “intra-party” fighting in the NY-23 race. But he’s backing the radical Margaret Sanger, high-taxing, Big Labor and ACORN leftist who is splitting Republicans instead of backing the conservative:
