I looked it up, just for fun, because you’re being annoying and obtuse.
Gallup (FTFY, learn to spell your source) does indeed have some data about this. It’s a self-reported description of one’s political leaning, labeled an Ideology poll, that they have been taking since 1992. 2021’s results had about 12000 responders, which equates to 0.0075% of the number of adults who voted in the 2020 election.
In this poll:
9% identified as very conservative
27% identified as conservative
37% identified as moderate
17% identified as liberal
7% identified as very liberal
3% said they had no opinion
No clue whose asshole you’re pulling your random numbers out of.
EDIT: For extra fun, if you open that page and Ctrl+F for any number from 80 to 89, you won’t find a single one. So not only is your 85% number wrong, there isn’t even anything close to it mentioned anywhere in the results for any reason at all.
It would seem that they’re calling everyone who didn’t pick the one of the most extreme options a “moderate”
Edit:
Yep, the numbers add up, and that’s likely why they refused to link it, because one glance disproves their argument . Although they did exaggerate the right and downplay the left a little still…
I find it interesting to look at polls on issues, as the right and the corporate media has spent untold amounts of money and decades on demonizing the very word liberal, so asking people what they self-identify as is probably less instructive than asking them where they stand on a whole range of issues.
You do know what Gallop is right? Look it up yourself. I’m not doing your homework.

As stated above, there are no conservatives or liberals anymore, they are the Moderates today.
…that’s literally exactly not what the source you incorrectly cited says.
