American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup.
The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high.
Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll.
When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal.
Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.

Pfffffffffff... 😂🤦♀️
The American political landscape doesn't even have the left on it.In all honesty, it's really fucking depressing that despite the blatant and open attack by one party on women's rights, and the complete impotence of the other to restore, or hell, even fucking address what bare minimum rights they once had, outside of a campaign speech, more women haven't realised that no one in the system is serving them, and shift to the actual left, but sadly the propaganda seems just too powerful (or on some cases, the other privileges still too comfortable to risk, even in the face of loss of autonomy to the state).
This is true for wide swaths of the people. The black community is famously ignored by the Democratic party, since the party knows that their opposition would re-implement segregation or even slavery if they could. Similar for LGBT+, native Americans, and so on.
I'd say it's also bad for the right. If you actually believe what the Republicans in the late 20th century claimed that they believed about conservative values (self-reliance, law and order, nuclear family values, and so on) then you have nowhere to vote but the dumpster fire of the Trump party
Except it isn't bad for the right, it's designed by them to be this way - it's one of the ways in which the they get the Overton window to shift more and more and more to the right.
