An exclusive Esquire-NBC News survey shows us that everything we are told about politics in America today—that there is no middle ground between left and right, blue and red, us and them—is wrong. The data, compiled by the Benenson Strategy Group (pollster for Obama for America '08 and '12) and Neil Newhouse of Public Opinion Strategies (lead pollster for Romney for President), show us there is a large group of American voters—even a majority—who make up a New American Center that is passionate, persuadable, and very real. They are merely waiting for Washington to find them.
When we talk about the Center, we are not talking about some shapeless, shifting mass of voters who just can't make up their minds about where they stand. They know what they stand for—nearly half the voters we identified in the Center even say they're liberals or conservatives. (Hell, 15 percent of those in the Center say they are supporters of the Tea Party.) However, their views don't neatly correspond to traditional definitions of liberal or conservative, creating a disjunction between where they think they are on the ideological spectrum and where they actually are...

Posted: 10/16/13 at 11:56amI'm a little surprised at my results. It has me in extreme liberal category, or bleeding hearts one as this says. I would have thought I would be a little more towards the middle. I guess I only thought that because I tend to not discuss politics a lot and try to not fight about them. I guess that doesn't mean anything though to what I believe.

I'm a minivan moderate, which is probably where I would have guessed I'd be.
Thanks for sharing Addy. This is very cool.

Posted: 10/16/13 at 12:17pmSo odd. It tells me how I probably think of myself that is not how I think of myself and then it uses a label that is thrown around by the nomless troll on here as an insult.

Posted: 10/16/13 at 3:36pmMinivan Moderate. Just how broad is this "moderate" category, anyway?

Posted: 10/16/13 at 3:38pmBleeding heart (I think the present use of that term is intended as a buzzkill to discourage meaningful dialogue and much-needed change in the American political mainstream that favors decades-long conservatism)! Personally, I'm generally progressive, mostly a Scandinavian-style social democrat with some small dashes of anarchism and some bigger doses of liberalism.

Posted: 10/16/13 at 3:39pmMoony, given the poster who identifies as an "MBA Middle", I'd say it's ridiculously broad.
