Shades of Red and Blue: What’s YOUR Political Color?

At Crossing Party Lines, we understand that politics is not a simple matter of Red or Blue – there’s an enormous range of colors on the political spectrum. You can even find different “shades” within a single party.

The Pew Research Center recently released a report titled Beyond Red vs. Blue: The Political Typology that offers a fresh look into American politics, finding that it’s about more than the Democratic and Republican parties. Their survey of over 10,000 people yielded nine distinct political sub-groups:
• Progressive Left
• Establishment Liberals
• Democratic Mainstays
• Outsider Left
• Stressed Sideliners
• Faith and Flag Conservatives
• Committed Conservatives
• Populist Right
• Ambivalent Right

You can read summaries of the groups here: https://crossingpartylines.com/PewTypologySummary.pdf
