Where do you fit?

The Political Typology is a longstanding effort to sort voters into homogeneous groups based on their values, political beliefs and party affiliation. The current report is based on a two-part survey of 2,000 Americans interviewed in December 2004, most of whom were recontacted to follow up on current political issues in March 2005.

I always thought of myself as pretty moderate. Fiscally conservative, socially traditional, but committed to civil rights, equality and the working class. The quiz catagorized me as a "disadvantaged Democrat."

Key Beliefs: General Population Disadvantaged Democrats
Hard work and determination are no guarantee of success for most people 28% 79%
Poor people have hard lives because government benefits don't go far enough to help them live decently 52% 80%
Most elected officials don't care what people like me think 63% 87%
Business corporations make too much profit 54% 76%
We should pay less attention to problems overseas and concentrate on problems here at home 49% 72%
