October 30, 2020: Forty-three percent (43%) of voters nationwide believe Republicans are the political party most committed to individual freedom. A PoliticalIQ national survey found that 41% believe it’s the Democrats. The poll, conducted by Scott Rasmussen, found that 10% don’t believe either party is committed to that ideal while 6% are not sure.[1]
Within each party, 86% of Republican voters see their party as committed to this ideal. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Democrats say the same about their party. As for independents, 35% pick the GOP, 30% say the Dems, and 23% neither.[1]
Voters under the age of 35 are more likely to see the Democrats as the party of individual freedom. Voters over 55 take the opposite view. Those in between are evenly divided.[1]
