[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3089997, member: 7900"] I'm not so sure that our red states will be turning blue. For [U][B]decades[/B][/U], the Battleground polling asked the question in their polls about people's political philosophy. The question asked whether they (the respondents) were: Conservative Somewhat Conservative Moderate Somewhat Liberal Liberal. With the Battleground poll, the results were usually that around 60% of the respondents answered with "Conservative" or "Somewhat Conservative." A few years ago, I remember even seeing in a liberal polling groups poll a very similar question and similar responses. Take a look at the latest election map (2016) where it was reported as "red" or "blue" by counties and not the entire state. Even the so-called blue states have a lot of counties that voted red. For example, look at New York, Oregon, and Washington state.
