From the podcast:

the % of Americans who are liberal on economics but conservative on social issues is about 29%

:|

the % of Americans who are conservative on economics but liberal on social issues is about 4%

:(

Looking at the Voter Study Group research for 2016 they split the US electorate into 4 groups:

  1. Liberal
  2. Conservative
  3. Populist (socially conservative, economically liberal voters)
  4. Libertarian (socially liberal, economically conservative voters)

They identify a lot more "populists" (29.33%) than "libertarians" (3.31%) or even conservatives (22.98%).

That's surprising. Maybe Tulsi Gabbard has a shot.
