It's probably better to ask how many liberals I know, who don't realize they are liberals, and how many people I know, who think they're liberals, but really aren't.
:lol:...good point.
( the same goes for self professed conservatives too)
About 60% liberal. The rest are a variation of moderate, conservative or independent.This question applies to all the adults who you’ve actually met, seen, interacted with, and who live within approximately 50 miles of you.
They can be family members, friends, co-workers, fellow students, club members, whoever. The only other requirement is that both of you have to know each other by name.
Now imagine that you asked each of these people, individually and privately, the following question: “How would you describe yourself politically?”
What percentage of them would say something like “liberal” or “mostly liberal?”
I believe it's safe to say that people who self-identify as liberals or conservatives will vote accordingly. Whether they're genuine liberals or conservatives is more an academic question than anything else.

seems weird to me that folks live around such high percentages of liberals ... when liberals only make up 20% of the population

I knew one person who would admit to it, she was way political and hands down the most liberal person I ever met, I always enjoyed my discussions with her RIP. She also hated, hated paying taxes, lol. I know there are a few around but I don't know that anyone would admit it. Our county votes 70% republican.
Where are you getting that statistic from?
I don't know of anyone who likes paying taxes!
About the last thing I ever ask any one is whether they are liberal or conservative. I really have no idea of what proportion is what, nor can I see why I would care.

really?... spend some more time here at DP... there's tons of people that profess to love paying taxes around here
I suspect most professing such are for the most part still in the theoretical stage of being taxpayers.
