Democrats Have Grown More Liberal

Gallup: “Compared with 2004 and 2014, Republicans have become more conservative and Democrats have become more liberal in their views on both social and economic issues, but not at the same rate.”

“The growth in liberal views among Democrats has outpaced that in conservative views among Republicans, which were already the dominant position among the latter group.”

“As the ideological makeup of political independents has remained steady, the liberalization of Democratic views has altered the national averages on both social and economic issues.”
