Polls that use the word "liberal" are automatically biased.

[Cetacea]

Since Reagan began his successful attempt at demonizing the word not too many people are going to admit being one in a Gallup or any other poll.

The democratic party as a whole is still reacting to Reagan (DLC, et all)and we still have many of his top cabinet as talking heads in the media. No wonder then that right after a Gallup poll showing the "liberals"
are a minority, former shit-writer Peggy Noonan hits the airwaves spewing on about how the country has moved to the right...While Obama didn't run as a liberal, he was certainly painted as one in the campaign and was elected by a large majority of Americans.

The recent Gallup Poll was biased.
