[ self-proclaimed, not quite so many, more likely to feel centrist or apolitical or whatnot while voting rightward (not like you have many other voting options anyway). but if you poll based on values, people overall are a good bit further left than the political parties! prri.org/research/com... ]
[ and the values of the parties themselves have a massive influence, so if americans already poll fairly centrally on individual values with all the propaganda going on *now*, they could so so easily be drawn towards politicians with progressive values. you just... need to find those black sheep. ]
