I don't know...FDR seems to be highly regarded.
But the numbers of people who would consider themselves a "liberal" is really very small in this country, perhaps well under 20%.
What's interesting is that typically 50+% of people will consider themselves to be "conservative". Does this mean that there are more conservatives? Not really...everything from evangelicals to libertarians are lumped together as "conservatives" even though they often share few values.
The words liberal and conservative are just ends of a spectrum. To apply them to real people isn't ever going to provide a realistic picture of what one believes.
