Conservative Ideology on the Rise in America: Polls

A new Gallup poll has found that more Americans are identifying as socially and economically conservative than at any point in more than a decade. 38% of Americans say they are conservative on social issues, up from 33% last year and 30% in 2021. Republicans had the largest swing towards conservatism with 74% saying they identified as socially conservative. Those identifying as economically conservative also hit its highest point since 2012, reaching 44%. The poll's findings come as the nation continues to grapple with efforts from the left to push transgender ideology on American society.
