Americans Are Becoming More Socially Liberal

Posted on the 30 July 2017 by Jobsanger

This chart shows the results of the latest Gallup Poll on the percentage of Americans who now define themselves as being socially liberal (being liberal on social issues). Note that in the last decade and a half that percentage has increased in every demographic group but one -- Republicans (who still want to force everyone to adopt their own prejudices). The poll was done between May 3rd and 7th of a random national sample of 1,011 adults, and has a margin of error of 4 points. This trend is a good thing for this country, and I hope it continues.
