The average American is not a 'populist.' I really doubt 10% are.

The vast majority of Americans are either conservatives or liberals. Very few would classify themselves as populists.

Thinking about economic issues, would you say your views on economic issues are --  Very conservative, Conservative, or Moderate, Liberal, or Very liberal?
Very conservative (4.84%), Conservative (37.33%), Moderate (41.35%), Liberal (11.14%), Very liberal (2.06%)

Thinking about social issues, would you say your views on social issues are -- Very conservative, Conservative, or Moderate, Liberal, or Very liberal?
Very conservative (5.39%), Conservative (30.28%), Moderate (38.72%), Liberal (17.22%), Very liberal (6.50%)

Would you favor or oppose making marijuana legally available for doctors to prescribe in order to reduce pain and suffering?
Favor 74%, Oppose 22%

As you may know, the federal income tax cuts passed into law since George W. Bush became president are set to expire within the next several years. Would you favor or oppose making those tax cuts permanent?
Favor 52%, Oppose 41%

As you may know, Federal inheritance taxes currently apply to estates valued at more than $1 million. A new proposal would eliminate all inheritance taxes on estates over $1 million as well. Would you favor or oppose that proposal?
Favor 60%, Oppose 35%

Which of the following arrangements between gay or lesbian couples do you think should be recognized as legally valid -- Same-sex marriages, Civil unions, but not same-sex marriages, or Neither same-sex marriages nor civil unions?
Same-sex marriages (21.02%), Civil unions, but not same-sex marriages (32.16%), Neither same-sex marriages nor civil unions (42.52%), DON'T KNOW (3.20%), REFUSED (1.10%)

That gives you a majority in favor of civil unions or better.

I'm sorry. Minimum wage is not the only economic issue, and you are not a moderate, no matter how much you want to pretend otherwise.
