On Social Ideology the Left Catches Up to the Right
According to the Gallup poll, the nation really is shifting leftward on social issues. Evident by the first Gallup poll in it's history to not have more people identify as social conservatives then social liberals ever. The shift is much more pronounced among Democrats and Independents, which will make for an interesting situation for the GOP primary.
There was also a slight decline in fiscal conservatives, but they retain a significant edge in that regard.
