A recent CNN poll shows that libertarianism is on the rise in the last three years in the United States, more than at any point in the last two decades.
The poll, which CNN has conducted yearly since 1993, tracks the strength of social and economic libertarianism and reveals that both ideas are gaining popular support.
Sixty-three percent of respondents believe that government is doing too much, up from 52 percent in 2008. Half of all respondents said that government should not promote any set of traditional or moral values, up from 41 percent in 2008.

This sounds nice but my problem is that while people may look at those two questions and conclude that libertarianism is on the rise nowhere was the word "libertarian" used in the questioning. Just because you think the government is generally doing to much, and you don't think the government should promote any kind of values doesn't mean you're a libertarian. It would be interesting to see what percentage of the people polled would actually consider themselves libertarian.
I think what were seeing is a backlash against a two party system where its really just one party with two names.
People are tired of the BS were seeing with the federal Government. People want change they don't want radical extreme's of the current bunch of idiots that are "In Charge"
Our nation is being destroyed people understand this they also understand the current system is not working, in fact its the reason why our nation is in such distress.
