The Nation is STILL Right of Center

Early this morning the Gallup email hit the inbox proclaiming that - for the first time in their history of asking the question - more Americans describe themselves as “pro-life” on abortion (51%) than “pro-choice” (42%).

Later this morning Rasmussen's email divulged that "eighty-four percent (84%) of Americans say English should be the official language of the United States." Only nine percent disagree.

And in recent weeks we have seen conservative objections to gun control becoming more prevalent as noted in this item:

Maybe it's the 9/11 hangover or those anti-Obama bumper stickers sold at gun shops, but the country is edging away from gun control. "Attitudes toward gun control have become more conservative, people not wanting gun control," says Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of the Gallup Poll. The number of people who say they want "more strict" gun control measures is dropping, he says. "So the NRA actually is in a pretty good position now, public-opinion-wise."

Right of center values are growing. Will the GOP hierarchy notice - much less do anything about it?
