A US political typology quiz
Pew Research has a political typology quiz. It is one of the better ones, as it got me pretty right. They classify you into one of nine groups:
- Faith and Flag Conservatives
- Committed Conservatives
- Populist Right
- Ambivalent Right
- Stressed Sideliners
- Outsider Left
- Democratic Mainstays
- Establishment Liberals
- Progressive Left
I was classified Ambivent Right, which is described as:
Young and politically cross-pressured: Conservative on economics and issues of race and gender, less so on immigration, social issues
On issues ranging from the size of the federal government to views about business, gender and race, Ambivalent Right hold many views that are largely consistent with core conservative values. Yet they also hold more moderate stances on several social issues and differ from some other segments of the GOP coalition in taking a more internationalist view of foreign policy and a less restrictive position on immigration.
Ambivalent Right differ from other GOP-aligned groups with their support for legal abortion and less negative views of the impact of same-sex marriage. They also are distinct from other Republican-oriented groups in their views of Donald Trump. Whereas large majorities of each of the other Republican-oriented groups say they feel warmly toward Trump, Ambivalent Right are somewhat more likely to say they feel coldly toward the former president (46%) than warmly (34%). And most (63%) would not like to see Trump continue to be a major national political figure for many years to come.
Ambivalent Right have also largely rejected the unsubstantiated claim from Trump and others that Trump was the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election.
Ambivalent Right do not feel very warmly toward either Republicans or Democrats. On a “feeling thermometer” ranging from 0-100, where 100 represents the warmest feelings and 0 represents the coldest feelings, Ambivalent Right give Republicans an average rating of 43. Ambivalent Right are cooler toward Democrats, with an average rating of 34.
I rated both parties negatively. One lot have abandoned democracy and the other lot are crazy.
