I keep hearing...

...that the United States is a "center-right" nation. Some of the talking heads on TV say it as though it was practically axiomatic. I don't buy that. In today's New York Times, Timothy Egan says that:

In recent Gallup polls, 54 percent of Americans perceived Barack Obama’s policies to be “mostly liberal” and an identical margin approved of his presidency.

That sounds about right to me.
