FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
As many Americans identify as liberal on social ideology as they do conservative for the first time since Gallup began polling for the question in 1999. Since then, social conservatives have lost an 18-point advantage.
Thirty-one percent of Americans said they were socially liberal
on issues such as same-sex marriage or marijuana legalization,
according to Gallup, matching those who said
they were socially conservative. In 1999, Gallup found 39 percent
of Americans reported as socially conservative, compared to 21
percent of social liberals.
The broad trend since has been a near-steady increase in the
share of poll respondents identifying with the liberal position.
Only during President Barack Obama’s first two years in the White
House did the socially liberal position stall in its rise.

Gallup reported that it has measured social viewpoints among
Americans at least once each year since 1999. That year,
then-President Bill Clinton was acquitted by the US Senate of
impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice brought
by the US House of Representatives over an affair between Clinton
and White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
The poll also found a new high among Democrats and
Democrat-leaning people who claim liberal social views (53
percent) as opposed to “moderate” (31 percent) or
“conservative” (14 percent) positions.
Meanwhile, the share of Republicans and Republican-leaning people
who claim conservative social views is at its all-time low, at 53
percent, compared to moderate (34 percent) and liberal (11
percent).
Gallup said views on social issues have tracked along with the
organization’s measurement of overall ideology since 1992, as
polls since have found increasing liberal identification among
Americans.
“As with the social ideology measure, the longer-term shifts
are mainly a result of increasing numbers of Democrats describing
their views as liberal rather than moderate,” Gallup wrote.
“That may reflect Democrats feeling more comfortable in
describing themselves as liberal than they were in the past, as
much as a more leftward shift in Democrats’ attitudes on
political, economic and social issues.”

The poll also found that Americans still call themselves
conservative on economic issues to the tune of 39 percent to 19
percent who claim to be economically liberal.
Despite that difference, the gap between economic conservatism
and liberalism is at its lowest point since 1999, according to
Gallup.
The number of Americans reporting to be economically conservative
is at its lowest point to date, as well. In 1999, the gap was 44
percent to 16 percent. The highest difference came in 2010, with
conservatives outnumbering liberals 51 percent to 15 percent.
Gallup attributed the changes in part to “population changes,
with younger, more liberal Americans entering adulthood while
older, more conservative adults pass on.”
The poll was conducted by telephone from May 6-10, with a margin
of error of 4 percentage points.
