A sizable majority (79%) describe their views as liberal, including 42% who say their views are <em>very liberal \u2013<\/em> double the share of the next largest group (20% of Outsider Left).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roughly two-thirds of Progressive Left (68%) are White, non-Hispanic, by far the largest share among Democratic-aligned groups. Progressive Left are the second youngest typology group \u2013 71% are ages 18 to 49. Progressive Left are also highly educated, with about half (48%) holding at least a four-year college degree, making it one of the two most highly educated groups overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Progressive Left are more liberal than the three other Democratic-oriented groups on many issues. For example, while majorities in all four of these groups favor a bigger government providing more services, Progressive Left are most likely to express this view. When asked a follow-up question about how much bigger the government should be, 63% of Progressive Left say government services should \u201cgreatly expand\u201d from current levels \u2013 a far higher share than any other group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their liberal outlook is not limited to issues related to the size and scope of government. Their views on race and racial equality also distinguish them from other typology groups: Sizable majorities say White people benefit from societal advantages that Black people do not have and that most U.S. institutions need to be completely rebuilt to ensure equal rights for all Americans regardless of race or ethnicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Progressive Left broadly support substantial hikes in tax rates for large corporations and high-income households. They are the only typology group in which a majority express positive views of political leaders who describe themselves as democratic socialists. And Progressive Left are more likely than any other typology group to say there are other countries that are better than the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although they are one of the smallest political typology groups, Progressive Left are the most politically engaged group in the Democratic coalition. No other group turned out to vote at a higher rate in the 2020 general election, and those who did nearly unanimously voted for Joe Biden. They donated money to campaigns in 2020 at a higher rate than any other Democratic-oriented group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;political-affiliation-voting-and-engagement&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-chapter wp-block-heading\" id=\"political-affiliation-voting-and-engagement\">Political affiliation, voting and engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-58876\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/11\/09\/progressive-left\/pp_2021-11-09_political-typology_11-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"edeeef\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #edeeef;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-02.png?resize=480,200 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-02.png?resize=782,326 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-02.png?resize=960,401 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-02.png?resize=1200,501 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-02.png?resize=1280,534 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"267\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-02.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows Progressive Left: Overwhelmingly Democratic and nearly unanimous in their support for Joe Biden in 2020\" class=\"wp-image-58876 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly all Progressive Left (98%) either identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party: 46% say they <em>strongly<\/em> identify with the party.

On a \u201cfeeling thermometer\u201d ranging from 0-100, where 100 represents the warmest, most positive feelings, Progressive Left give Republicans an average rating of just 10 \u2013 by far the lowest of any group. Their feelings toward Democrats are significantly warmer, though they are somewhat less warm on average than Establishment Liberals and Democratic Mainstays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This group is also one of the most politically engaged typology groups: 86% of eligible Progressive Left voted in the 2020 election. Among typology groups, that is only rivaled by Faith and Flag Conservatives. Slightly fewer than half (44%) say they follow what\u2019s going on in government and public affairs most of the time, 10 percentage points higher than among all adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-310-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-58884\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/11\/09\/progressive-left\/pp_2021-11-09_political-typology_11-04-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"efeee6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efeee6;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-04.png?resize=480,506 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-04.png?resize=620,654 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"327\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-04.png?w=310\" alt=\"Chart shows Progressive Left highly engaged with politics\" class=\"wp-image-58884 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the days leading up to the start of the 2020 Democratic primaries, 35% of Progressive Left Democratic voters supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, while nearly as many (28%)&nbsp; supported Sen. Elizabeth Warren; far fewer backed Biden (15%). They were more likely to support Warren than those in any other political typology group and expressed support for Sanders at a level similar to the Outsider Left (38% of whom favored Sanders).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Progressive Left largely backed candidates other than Biden during the 2020 Democratic primaries, they overwhelmingly voted for him in the general election and now solidly support him. A September survey found a large majority approves of Biden\u2019s job performance (82%), and majorities express confidence in his handling of most issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;progressive-left-key-political-attitudes-and-beliefs&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-chapter wp-block-heading\" id=\"progressive-left-key-political-attitudes-and-beliefs\">Progressive Left: Key political attitudes and beliefs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Progressive Left are the only typology group in which a majority (62%) says that success in life is largely outside of an individual\u2019s control. And when asked to compare the U.S. to other countries \u2013 whether the U.S. is better than all other countries, is among the best countries, or there are other countries that are better \u2013 75% of Progressive Left say there are other countries better than the U.S., the highest share among typology groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-58886\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/11\/09\/progressive-left\/pp_2021-11-09_political-typology_11-05-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f6f6f6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f6f6f6;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-05.png?resize=480,479 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-05.png?resize=782,781 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-05.png?resize=960,959 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-05.png?resize=1200,1198 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-05.png?resize=1280,1278 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"639\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_11-05.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows Progressive Left: Very liberal across a broad spectrum of issues\" class=\"wp-image-58886 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Progressive Left overwhelmingly favor an expanded social safety net, they also broadly support raising tax rates on large businesses and corporations as well as on household incomes above $400,000.

They also are more supportive than other political typology groups of increasing the number of <em>legal <\/em>immigrants coming to the U.S. Progressive Left also are particularly likely to say that greater social acceptance of people who are transgender is a good thing for the U.S. \u2013 88% say this, including 75% who say this has been very good for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;progressive-left-stand-out-for-support-for-black-lives-matter-perceptions-of-white-advantage-and-on-other-racial-attitudes&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-chapter wp-block-heading\" id=\"progressive-left-stand-out-for-support-for-black-lives-matter-perceptions-of-white-advantage-and-on-other-racial-attitudes\">Progressive Left stand out for support for Black Lives Matter, perceptions of White advantage and on other racial attitudes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Progressive Left hold more liberal views than the other political typology groups on a range of topics, this is particularly evident when it comes to their attitudes on issues relating to race and racial equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, Democrats generally are far more likely than Republicans to express a positive view of <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2021\/09\/27\/support-for-black-lives-matter-declined-after-george-floyd-protests-but-has-remained-unchanged-since\/\">the Black Lives Matter movement<\/a>.
