Good News

Polling organizations don't get more "establishment" than Gallup. They just reported their annual Values and Beliefs Survey, and the new results will be music to conservative ears. Some key quotes:

More Americans this year (38%) say they are very conservative or conservative on social issues than said so in 2022 (33%) and 2021 (30%). At the same time, the percentage saying their social views are very liberal or liberal has dipped to 29% from 34% in each of the past two years, while the portion identifying as moderate (31%) remains near a third.

When Americans are asked to describe their views on economic issues, 44% identify as very conservative or conservative, 33% moderate and 21% very liberal or liberal. The percentage saying they are conservative averaged 40% between 2020 and 2022. 

Since 2021, there have been double-digit increases in conservative social ideology among middle-aged adults -- those between the ages of 30 and 64. At the same time, older Americans’ ideology on social issues has been stable, while there has been a modest increase in conservative social ideology among young adults. (emphases added)
Public opinion is trending in our direction. With only 21% liberal on economic issues, reparations don't stand much chance. 

Those who describe the US as a "center-right" nation are correct. Amazing when you consider the leftist bias in media, academia, and government.
