Gallup: Progressive Political Label is popular

July 12, 2010 Bottom Line-- The progressive label seems to be gaining popularity in American politics, with numerous high-profile political players and groups using it either as a substitute for "liberal" or as a nuanced alternative to it.

Given the high degree of public uncertainty about what the term means -- as well as the lack of opposition to it from the political center -- that could be a successful strategy, at least if the goal is to avoid being pigeonholed.

Are liberals and progressives synonymous?  Only 26 per cent of liberals consider themselves progressive according to Gallup.

Proud of the Democratic Party, Presidnet Obama and proud to be a liberal

No, I don't have any blood on my hands or tortured anybody. I never lied about the threat  to justify a blitzkrieg against a defenseless nation. I have never believed it was necessary to bug the Internet and American email to keep the USA safe. I never looked at the Geneva Conventions as being inconvenient.

I always believed the US should follow the the constitution, our laws and respect international law. I never believed anyone including the president and vice president was above the law. I am a proud liberal.
