It may be that you're not seeing an overwhelming number of "right-wingers" because the figures are a bit skewed by the lack of their being a conservative choice, whereas there is their counterpart - liberal.

How this could skew the figures is... if a conservative does not feel they can support the republican position, they may chose to indicate that they're independent. On the other hand liberals who feel similar about democrats have their choice available without moving to the independant catagory.

I could be wrong, but don't think we would find out for sure unless a new poll was created, and I'm not about to do that and again recycle this same old discussion for yet a third time!
