Far Left make up about 5%, Far Right are 10%, Moderates (everyone else) make up 85%

Gallop says 81% make up the middle. Far Right 9%, Far Left is 7%, and Moderates 81%. There are no conservatives or liberals anymore. They are all Moderates now compared to the Progressives and Fascists on the two ends.

A claim like that really needs a source

You’re not linking any sources…

I’m not gonna keep asking

You do know what Gallop is right? Look it up yourself. I’m not doing your homework.

I looked it up, just for fun, because you’re being annoying and obtuse.

Gallup (FTFY, learn to spell your source) does indeed have some data about this. It’s a self-reported description of one’s political leaning, labeled an Ideology poll, that they have been taking since 1992. 2021’s results had about 12000 responders, which equates to 0.0075% of the number of adults who voted in the 2020 election.

In this poll:

  • 9% identified as very conservative
  • 27% identified as conservative
  • 37% identified as moderate
  • 17% identified as liberal
  • 7% identified as very liberal
  • 3% said they had no opinion

No clue whose asshole you’re pulling your random numbers out of.

Here’s the source you tried and failed to reference: https://news.gallup.com/poll/388988/political-ideology-steady-conservatives-moderates-tie.aspx

EDIT: For extra fun, if you open that page and Ctrl+F for any number from 80 to 89, you won’t find a single one. So not only is your 85% number wrong, there isn’t even anything close to it mentioned anywhere in the results for any reason at all.
