Americans' support for liberal policymaking has reached a 60-year high, according to a new survey.
Vox reported that public support for more regulation, higher taxes and more social services reached the highest level on record in the latest edition of Policy Mood, an aggregate overview of American opinion based on a range of polls on a variety of issues.
According to Vox, the finding was first reported by James Stimson, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina who has published numerous books on public opinion research.
The annual estimate for 2018 is the most liberal ever recorded in the 68 year history of Mood, he wrote. Just slightly higher than the previous high point of 1961.

(843 posts)Being a Liberal is normal for the United States. Being a right winger is outside the norm and they should be treated as the minority that they are.

The way it worked out in 2018 is more red states did.
