I think a lot of these divisions are exaggerated by the media/political establishment. Case in point: economic issues. How many people support keeping social security, medicare, medicaid more or less? How about universal healthcare in general? How many believe that "the rich" should pay more in taxes? How many agree Citizen's United should be struck down? How many think you have a right to a job and/or certain basic necessities? The fact is on those issues americans are basically liberals. Of course the minority that dissent on some or all of those is going to be frustrated and not really able to relate...

"Social" issues are a bit different though.
