Where Do You Fit? The Political Party Test

This poll is found here. What I found interesting is the skew of the poll. First, there is no distinction between state, local, and federal law. Second, the "growing number of newcomers" are not characterized as legal or "undocumented," which is the crucial distinction made by conservatives regarding immigration. Third, I didn't know God was a Republican.

I find it particularly interesting that I am to the right of the TEA party. Here I thought they were as extreme as extreme can get, yet I am more extreme. Even though in 5 of the 12 questions I was in the "mostly" category. I wonder if I'd answered "completely" in those questions, would the little pointer slide right off the page?

Answer 12 questions that were part of a national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, and find out where you fit on the partisan political spectrum.

How do you feel about each of the following …?

• There need to be stricter laws and regulations to protect the environment.
• The government should help more needy people even if it means going deeper in debt.
• The growing number of newcomers from other countries threaten traditional American customs and values.
• I never doubt the existence of God.
• Business corporations make too much profit.
• Gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry legally.
• The government needs to do more to make health care affordable and accessible.
• One parent can bring up a child as well as two parents together.
• Government regulation of business usually does more harm than good.
• Abortion should be illegal in all or most cases.
• Labor unions are necessary to protect the working person.
• Poor people have become too dependent on government assistance programs.








Overall, your political values are closest to those of a… Conservative Republican
