Conservatives Remain the Largest Ideological Group in U.S.
Overall, the nation has grown more polarized over the past decade

PRINCETON, NJ -- Political ideology in the U.S. held steady in 2011, with 40% of Americans continuing to describe their views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This marks the third straight year that conservatives have outnumbered moderates, after more than a decade in which moderates mainly tied or outnumbered conservatives.

Some fairly interesting charts are in there as well.  Worth a glance.

I find it really interesting that the majority of Democrats identify themselves as Conservative/Moderate with only 10% describing themselves as Very Liberal.

It's also interesting that only 20% of Republicans proclaim that they are Very Conservative.

Some other interesting facets are scattered around.
