Based on your graph, lets assume the following: All conservatives (29%) vote for Trump and all liberals (25%) vote for the liberal candidate. Well the obvious follow-up question is: How are moderates defined in American politics? Do moderate Americans typically vote for a Trump-like candidate or a Obama/Hillary/Bernie/Biden candidate? That answer would either support my assertion or indicate that what I said was wrong. To answer that question, we could only pull the data from ~2015 - present since that's when this MAGA movement began. My assumption is that Gallup provided additional questions that could help us determine how moderates align to various political issues. Were some of those questions provided alongside this graph? |
https://news.gallup.com/poll/609914/women-become-liberal-men-mostly-stable.aspx that's the link, you'll have to dig into their results. Do you agree that the American definition of moderate is not progressive? I mean basically by definition. |
That link was a very interesting read, but it unfortunately didn't provide the answer to the question I posed. Whenever I turn on CBS/NBC, I am informed that the older population votes more conservative while the youth are more liberal. That's the information that I am going off of and what caused me to make my initial statement.
