Where are most Americans on the political spectrum?

The sad truth is that Americans stand severely divided from one another. There is no overwhelming feeling of either conservatism or liberalism within the country. The United States are not really united at all. They are segregated into liberal and conservative, blue state and red state, and Democrat and Republican. Seeing as how the recent healthcare reforms BARELY passed, it is clear that the generalization of the American people in terms of their political stances, would be inaccurate to say the least. However, there is something to be said about the younger generation becoming increasing liberal and thus more inclined to vote with the Democrats, but again, the numbers do not lie. The American people cannot be generalized into one side of the political spectrum or the other.
