9% of the population, but 50% of the respondents in this thread. Go figure.

Solid Liberals14% OF THE PUBLIC
What They Believe

Strongly pro-government and very liberal on a broad range of issues
Very supportive of regulation, environmental protection and government assistance to the poor
One of the most secular groups; 59% say that religion is not that important to them
Supportive of the country's growing racial and ethnic diversity
Two-thirds disagree with the Tea Party

Who They Are

Highly politically engaged
75% are Democrats
Concentrated in the Northeast and West
57% are female
Best educated of the groups: 49% hold at least a bachelor's degree and 27% have post-graduate experience
A third regularly listen to NPR, about two-in-ten regularly watch The Daily Show and read The New York Times
59% have a passport
42% regularly buy organic foods
21% are first or second generation Americans



Shocking.

Questions asked were crap, incidentally. I would identify myself as a solid liberal, so the results worked out, but the questions were just binaries that didn't in any way reflect the complexity of the issues they were meant to deal with. The government is super awesome v. government is super sucky set, especially.

What the fuck does buying organic foods have to do with political preferences?

It's a great indicator.

If you can be suckered into paying 3X the price of regular milk for "organic" milk you can be suckered into anything.

I buy organic but within reason :lol, organic milk is one thing I don't touch. It costs a lot more and it tastes gross.

Willard Romney is a big fan of organic food tbh.

I'm pretty sure organic vs non organic both come from Pablo's same farm and no one is really checking the difference down there in mexico before they ship it here

What a fuckin stupid poll that only has black/white answers.

Exactly. It points you one way or the other and I didn't feel strongly about any of the choices. For example, I think military force is required to maintain peace, but overwhelming military presence actually causes unrest.

There's no "non-partisan" group.
