"...the data suggests that while polarization on the right is a more recent phenomenon, the right still hasn't caught up with the level of polarization that exists on the left."

The political "center" is not a true center. It is farther "right" in this country. The right will never catch up to the left in polarization. There isn't room. The right leaning centrist can only go so far before becoming a conservative. The left leaning centrist can go a long way before being considered liberal. I think PEW probably cuts their definition of liberal way before soshulist or communist.
