This should be looked at this from another, and perhaps more telling angle. The data suggest and support the 'silent majority' phenomenon. The leftists are far more willing to be loud and vocal with their political speech. Loud does not equal majority, as demonstrated.
It ALSO suggests, due to the movement in the data points themselves, that the farther left you are, the more you are quieting down in recent times. This supports that the louder the left extreme gets, the more of their like-minded supporters start distancing themselves, potentially moving right at best, but becoming disenfranchised at least.
