Meanwhile libs are boasting Obama won a peace prize sometime back in history.

Yeah, I was never clear on what that was for. As I recall, he got it either right before, or right after, becoming POTUS. He hadn't done anything yet, that I'm aware of. I voted for him, and supported him on many (NOT all) things, but I don't know what the Nobel committee was thinking when they nominated him.

And, rather than pick on your source, I went to the link to Gallup that they provided...it's not quite how they characterized it.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/506765/social-conserv...

38% say they are conservative on social issues, up from 33% last year
Highest percentage saying they are socially conservative since 2012
44% say they are economically conservative, also highest since 2012

I guess "more conservative" compared to last year, but not "more conservative" as in a majority of people. If the senate were 38% conservative, we'd have a liberal filibuster-proof supermajority.
