American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup.

The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high.

Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll.

When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal.

Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.

    because there are exceptions to every rule

    That sounds like a rule to me. Which means it has an exception. Which is a contradiction for the rule.

      Welcome to the limitations of pure logic friend. There are limits to pure reason as Immanuel Kant observed.

        Kant was full of shit. He whole philosophy is defeated the moment a non-human animal cares for its young. His fault for trying to prove Christianity was true.

        In any case some of us care about what is true and what is not, which includes using the badic tools of logic. This is why there are no conservative intellectuals, when they lose the game they throw the board.
