My parents thought they were democrats until I say them down and went issue by issue.    They are now conservatives.

Political party is an identity for most and that's sad.

The Unbiased America page has posted things that support your statement. Hardly anyone identifies as a libertarian, but when asked issue by issue, nearly as many people chose the libertarian ideas as liberal or conservative ones. Surprising since the Libertarian Party had failed miserably for 40 years to get just 5% of the popular vote. Another thing they posted showed that the younger generation is more likely than ever to support socialism, but issue by issue they end up leaning toward capitalism.
