Once again, Echelon Insights (http://echeloninsights.com) has released a two-axis poll of economic and cultural inclinations among registered voters. It’s part of a very large piece of data analysis, seen at 
Conservative scores are at the top and right. Liberal scores are at the bottom and left. Once again, voters fill three of the four quadrants, but only 5% of them are in the libertarian quadrant, and almost all of them are not very far into the libertarian quadrant. Comparison with party preferences put Democrats at the lower left, Republicans at the upper right, with more Republicans than Democrats in the Populist quadrant. More detailed polling found a respectable number of Green-inclined voters (lower left), and an absence of polling asking if people supported the Libertarian Party. The questions map poorly onto supporters of the Constitution Party.
A two axis chart works well, but the Political Compass, social-economic score matrix does not. I realized that after reading Mussolini and seeing his repeated emphasis that Fascism was totally unconcerned with economics. Fascist governments have an economic policy – they have to – but there is no economic system intrinsic to fascism. They really just don’t care about it. And some of the more modern day fascists of the Alt-Right, while meeting all of the more important criteria of fascism, have a preferred economic system markedly different from the old Italians. So there is no way to score a fascist on economics and have them land in a ‘fascist’ zone. They aren’t weighting economics the same as other things.
Nolan’s 2-dimensinal diamond chart works better, with the labels being Socialist, Nationalist, Liberal, and Authoritarian. That gives it four distinct gravitational centers, rather than a 2 dimension social-economic axis.
The chart works quite well at sorting out, and one suspects, explaining, why people support the Democratic, Republican, and Green parties. Nozick was simply wrong: The suggestion that the two-axis sort is meaningless is conclusively rejected by the data. There are suggestions that a three-axis sort would work even better.
Once upon a time, the Pew Foundation would ask many questions and do cluster analysis, which identifies groups of people who agree with each other a lot; the analysis ignores analyst opinions as to what people of a class should think, the sort represented by “No True Libertarian believes…” and “If you support X, you ain’t Y”. As a particular outcome, the Pew analysis reveals questions that are particularly effective at sorting out groups sometimes questions that seem a bit odd.
The names assigned to the four quadrants are just that, names, not references to particular political parties.
Why do these analysts constantly use the political compass when Nozick himself admitted that it is utter nonsense and abandoned the American concept of libertarianism too?
How well do the questions map to the American Solidarity Party? Presumably they would be Populist, though their social conservatism would differ from the social conservatism of Republican (Trump-style) populists.
That is suffering from the same flaw as the Political Compass and other political maps that use a social-economic score matrix. The people who designed it don’t understand the ideologies involved.
Social Question 2: America is the Greatest country in the world. Agree or disagree?
Social Question 5: Transgender athletes should be able to play on the sports teams that match their current gender identity. Agree or disagree?
Social Question 8: Should we reallocate funding from police departments to social services or should we fully fund police departments?
Economic Question 1: Hard work and determination are no guarantee of success for most people or most people who want to get ahead can make it if they’re willing to work hard?
Economic Question 9: Stricter environmental laws are worth the cost or stricter environmental laws cost too many jobs and hurt the economy?
There are no libertarian answers to any of these questions (and some others that I didn’t list are debatable), but in order to land in the libertarian quadrant, a respondent must answer as a Democrat would for the social questions and as a Republican would for the economic questions.
