Political Spectrum Poll

http://people-press.org/typology/quiz/

I was "Disaffected", along with 11% of the public.

"What They Believe

    * Highly critical of both government and business
    * Sympathetic to the poor and supportive of social welfare programs
    * Concerned about immigration
    * Majority believes the country can't solve many of its important problems
    * Religious and socially conservative

Who They Are

    * Most financially stressed of the groups: nearly half describe their household as "struggling"
    * 71% have experienced unemployment in their household in the past 12 months
    * About two-thirds have only a high school education or less
    * Compared with the national average of 33%, more are parents (44%)
    * 26% have a U.S. passport — well below the national average
    * 23% follow NASCAR racing"

As far as the bottom percentages, I don't match any of those.

I retook the quiz after reading it again and realised I clicked a couple of answers without reading them clearly enough first =/ (Florida education, hard at work)

My second results were:

New Coalition Democrats

10% of the public

    * Strongly pro-government
    * Upbeat about the country's ability to solve problems and an individual's ability to get ahead through hard work
    * Approve of regulation and environmental protection
    * More positive about business than other Democratic-oriented groups
    * Generally liberal on racial issues
    * Hospitable to immigrants: 78% believe they strengthen society

    * 56% are Democrats
    * Majority-minority group: 34% white, 30% black and 26% Latino

    * Only 34% read a daily newspaper

This seemed a better fit.

HA!

and it's not that I favor the use of diplomacy more than force, I favor it's use 1st.. and then force if needed.. there were a few answers that were 'double' like that.. the other one was..

The government today can't afford to do much more to help the needy

or

The government should do more to help needy Americans, even if it means going deeper into debt

I chose the 1st one.. because it was the 'best' answer, not because it was totally right.. I don't necessarily think we should do more because we can't afford it number one, but I also don't want to see us do less than what we are doing..

meh, it was like that with many of the questions..

anyway.. it was fun.. thanks

yeah, if I change just one.. I'm a Solid Liberal

and that one is No17

Our country has made the changes needed to give blacks equal rights with whites

Our country needs to continue making changes to give blacks equal rights with whites

If I pick the 1st, I'm a 'post modern'.. if I pick the 2nd I'm a solid liberal.. funny..

Fun. Ten questions/statements are a slight over simplification which is not an issue except when they use similar ones to make broad claims in the lamestream media .
