Does this poll support for left/right policies or just labels?
I suspect if you properly formulate and frame questions on political issues you'd end up with the US being far left.

Yep. I think the american public lacks words for what they align with. I also think most of the population would lean left if it weren't for all the popaganda. But I think a lot...
Then you're in a partisan bubble. The US is not even close to far left, I don't think you could even fake it with leading questions. There are far left people but there are a lot of far right and yet more center-right people too.
I need my copy-pasta again:
American "left": maybe we shold do some student debt relief? Just a tini-tiny. If you don't mind.
Rest of the world right: universal education, more funding!
Rest of the world center: universal education, state must provide students with everything(including housing and food) so they don't worry about anything else other than learning, state must provide teachers with everything(including decent salary) so they don't wory about anything else other than teaching, state must provide universities with all necessary equipment, buildings must be maintained in good condition(so ceiling wouldn't fall on students' and teachers' heads)!
Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.
But women of that age group need to vote! Seniors turnout is historically higher than the younger age groups and that trend needs to change.
Seniors will always have the retirement advantage, where they actually have time again in their lives to participate in politics.
All the more reason why its so important to push get-out-to-vote campaigns for younger people. Its the young 20-year-olds who are worried about their kid's activities or work, or things that would get distracted and forget to vote.
Reading articles like this always remind me of this The Dollop about a [teacher](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment%29) who essentially created a cult to demonstrate how Hitler was able to convince people to go along with Fascism that they might otherwise be opposed to.
EDIT - And now I know.you need to use %29 to escape the closing bracket on the url markdown.
