birdwatcherPolls find that some 10 to 20 percent of voting-age Americans are libertarian, tending to agree with conservatives on economic issues and with liberals on personal freedom. The Gallup Governance Survey consistently finds about 20 percent of respondents giving libertarian answers to a two-question screen. The libertarian vote is in play. At some 13 percent of the electorate, it is sizable enough to swing elections.

Те, у кого и то, и другое высокое, либертарианцы, те, у кого низкое - популисты.
(Libertarians would probably consider the opposite of “libertarian” to be “statist” or even “authoritarian,” rather than “populist.” But those are ideologically charged terms, and political scientists have tended toward the term “populist” to mean those who tend to support both government intervention in the economy and restrictions on personal freedoms.) (p.4 отчета)
Ну, а либералы и консерваторы - как обычно. Еще могут быть неопределившиеся.
