Opinion Polls

Some time series opinion polls offer an interesting perspective on how some of the primary social and foreign policy goals of the Bush administration and the mainstream Republican party rhetoric during the late-1990s and 2000s have been rejected or have lost support among a monotonically increasing fraction of the population.  Maybe it's still wishful thinking to hope that we have reached the end of neoconservative foreign policy and religious conservatism, but at least people's preferences seem more rational now than they once did.
