Pretty much all left wing but not as politically engaged as me.

From what I can tell - they are Republicans because their parents are Republican. I am probably the most political person in my group of friends and I don’t really talk about politics with them. Sometime before Election Day, I should do a Instagram poll or something.
Decided to do a snap poll and 60% support Oz and 50/50 on the governors race.

A bit all over the map, but lean liberal overall.

Most of our friends nowadays are from church today, so they are mostly conservative Republicans.  Some are all in on Trump, some voted for him but hope he goes away.

People from work are a mixed bag.

Most of my older friends are liberal Democrats.

Generally left of center. Some are right of center. If anything it's a debate over which flavor of libertarianism is the best one.

I have one friend group that is a bunch of normie, secular, white millennial professionals. Some lean left, some lean right, but they are usually pro-marijuana (settled issue here in Michigan) and distrustful of the "crazy" politicians on either side--SJWs, Bible-thumpers, Qanon types, etc. Their girlfriends seem to usually be to their left. I have a good friend (and former/maybe future) colleague who is basically a tankie but is also one of my favorite people to talk to on history/strategy topics. I have another sort-of friend group that is decidedly weirder, and would probably merit the Cody label of "all over the place".

Probably 60-40 Republican, but I don’t ask. A lot of Republican colleagues repulsed by Walker.

As far as I can tell my friends however defined are overwhelmingly left-leaning, although covering a broad range of attitudes and views. My closest friends are two normie social democrats who follow politics quite a bit (although one is more left-wing and disillusioned and the other is more liberal) and one who hates politics but votes out of civic duty and has sympathies on the left.

No friends in contact, so I'd say eight in the political compass center.

Mostly pretty left-leaning, with maybe some libertarian tendencies and less progressive on cultural matters than other issues.

I went from having substantial to majority number of conservative friends maybe 20 plus years ago too having primarily just liberal friends now. The fact is I'm so involved in work and family that I don't have that much time for friends anymore, so I have to be selective about the ones I hang out with.

Mostly apolitical, with left wing leanings when they do talk about politics. Do we have a friend who leans communist as well as one who's libertarian.

Split about 50-50, with half being progressive Democrats and half being moderate Republicans to somewhat conservatives who probably voted Romney-trump-Biden.
