At least according to this recent poll.
Best illustrating the willingness of Americans to consider opposing points of view is that two-thirds of poll respondents supported finding a middle ground when it comes to abortion rights -- a solid majority that stood up among those calling themselves evangelicals, Catholics, Republicans or Democrats.
This is good news because the polorization of America is something we can't afford to have when there are people out there that want to kill us. I think some of the various entrenched camps should find middle ground when it comes to different issues.
An example that I push a lot is evironmentalists and security hawks can come together on reducing the need for foreign oil. The environmentalists don't want the global warming and the hawks don't want to pay our enemies in order to drive to work every day. They can both agree on the problem now they just need to hammer out a solution.
