MODERATORS
 

Young women are more liberal than they have been in decades, according to a Gallup analysis of more than 20 years of polling data. 

Over the past few years, about 4 in 10 young women between the ages of 18 and 29 have described their political views as liberal, compared with two decades ago when about 3 in 10 identified that way.

For many young women, their liberal identity is not just a new label. The share of young women who hold liberal views on the environment, abortion, race relations and gun laws has also jumped by double digits, Gallup found.

I wonder how the other 6 in 10 young women would describe their political views. While 40% isn't a majority, I would think liberals are a plurality. Still, it's a little disheartening that there isn't a clear majority in the US. It would be nice if a majority of Americans could reach a consensus.

The survey included moderate on the scale so 40% does not mean that 60% are conservative. The article only covered the portion that was liberal or very liberal.
