35. Most of those stats are old.

I lifted them from Alternet article by Jim Hightower in December 2005 (2-1/2 years ago!)
The numbers are undoubtedly more favorable today.

"Americans might not call themselves progressive -- but there they are. On the populist, pocketbook issues that are rooted in our nation's core values of fairness and justice, there's a progressive super-majority. It flourishes in red states as well as blue, cutting through the establishment's false dichotomy of liberal/ conservative."

This article DEMOLISHES the fallacy propagated by the DLC that "a liberal" can't win in a RED state, so we must keep running Republican-Lites. BULLSHIT!!!! A well funded Economic Populist running on a platform of Economic Justice can WIN in ANY state.

The link posted above doesn't work anymore.
