Stats Continue to Show Pattern of Right Wing Authoritarianism

Presidential adviser Karl Rove's net favorable rating among Americans is at -16, according to the latest Gallup poll.

The poll finds that just 22% of Americans hold a favorable opinion of Rove, while 38% see him unfavorably.

I've just been following recent polls and it seems that there might be a correlation here:

John Dean: "I ran into a massive study that has really been going on 50 years now by academics."... "The lead researcher in this field told me, he said, "I look at the numbers of the United States and I see about 23% of the population who are pure right-wing authoritarian followers

From the Center for American Progress:
"Reports of "harassment and discrimination against Muslims are rising." According to a new USA Today/Gallup poll, 39 percent of Americans said they "felt at least some prejudice against Muslims" and 22 percent "wouldn't want Muslims as neighbors."

Joe Conason: Salon- "Fifty-two percent say that the recent stem cell debate made them more inclined to vote for Democrats, and 49 percent said the same about flag burning, gay marriage and other "values issues." Only 29 percent -- essentially the conservative base -- said those debates would motivate them to vote for Republicans."
