Study shows conservatives are far more tolerant than liberals.
A recent study1 by the Pew Research Center has found that conservatives are far more tolerant than liberals.
As you can see from the figures below, the gulf in political tolerance was very significant.
Only 13% of Republican or Republican leaning voters claimed their relationship with a friend would be strained if their friend supported Hillary Clinton.
For Democrats, however, this percentage was much higher, with 35% of Democrats and Democratic leaning voters claiming their relationship with a friend would be strained if they found out their friend supported President Trump.
And for self-identifying liberals, this figure was higher again, with 47% of self-identifying liberals claiming their relationship with a friend would be strained if they found out their friend supported President Trump.
These figures will come as little surprise to anyone who has observed the left's reaction to the result of the 2016 presidential election.
The intolerance of left-leaning voters also mirrors Hillary Clinton's own misinformed bigotry, when she described half of Trump’s voters as a “basket of deplorables”.
