Pew's Typology study is out! What kind of conservative are you?
Hey everyone! Pew Research Center does a political typology study every few years(last one was in 2014 i think), and they break down Republicans into 4 major groups, depending on their views and voting behavior.
Core Conservatives
Country First Conservatives
Market Skeptic Republicans
New Era Enterprisers
Which do you think that you'd fall into? There's also a simple questionnaire that they have as well that will place you.
For anyone curious, I fall into "Solid Liberal"
Solid Liberals are the largest group in the Democratic coalition, and they make up close to half (48%) of politically engaged Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.
Largely white, financially comfortable and highly educated (most are college graduates and nearly a third have postgraduate degrees), Solid Liberals overwhelmingly express liberal attitudes on virtually every issue.
And their level of political activism in the months following Trump’s election sets Solid Liberals apart from all other groups in the political typology, left or right. Nearly half of Solid Liberals (49%) say they have contributed money to a political candidate or campaign in the past year; no more than a third in any other group (32% of Core Conservatives) say the same. And 39% of Solid Liberals report they have participated in a protest against Trump’s policies, which also is by far the highest share among the political typology groups.
