more people identify themselves as Conservatives....

"Oops for me" what? I like conservatives! You might notice that the numbers for conservatives have always been high. You might notice what happens to all the numbers right after the election of any party.

The part of the headline you are ignoring is one of the main reasons the GOP lost this past election, and why the GOP will keep losing elections, as it's associated with age demographics:

Not this part: “Conservatives” Are Single-Largest Ideological Group -

But this part: "Percentage of “liberals” higher this decade than in early ’90s"

Not as a general "love" thing

The independents questioned involved asking them about their Congressional ballot voting preferences only, and "Support for Democrats is up two points from last week, while support for the GOP is up three points. Support for the GOP is just one point below its highest level found over the past year. Last week’s results for the Democrats tied the lowest level of support for the party during the same period. "

The highest level for the GOP last year was pretty terrible, and it's still below that. The election results played that out.

Now, people, after overwhelmingly "throwing the bums out", and selecting an overwhelmingly Democratic congress, and it seems the independents polled want to get more GOP back into the Congress. I go for that, too. We'll see what happens in a couple years.
