Thunder,
I was surprised how many supported the death penalty. On a positive note,
the number supporting the death penalty are decreasing every year.

In reality 54% of those who consider themselves liberal support the death
penalty.

Do you have a cite for those numbers? I'm not questioning your veracity.
I just thought that death penalty supporters far outnumbered those
opposed, regardless of liberal/conservative views.
