US Political Party

---

Notes:

• This question was only given to those who answered the survey from the US.

• The largest category was "democrat" with 25.4% closely followed by "republican" with 21.1%. The next two largest categories were "independent, leaning toward democrat" with 16.4% and "independent, leaning toward republican" with 10.3%. Only 7.4% of respondents classified themselves as strict independents. 5.8% classified themselves as libertarians.

• It is interesting to note that although most people identify with one of the major parties, most also classify themselves as "moderates" (See Political Affiliation.)
