Left-leaning users veer right on regulating Uber and Airbnb, study finds

First major survey on the sharing economy finds most users of services such as Airbnb and Uber identify as liberal, but take conservative stance on regulation

Liberals love Uber and Airbnb so much, they're embracing conservative values - at least when it comes to regulating the sharing economy, according to a new survey from Pew.

The poll - the first major survey on shared, collaborative, and on-demand services - found that the vast majority of Americans are not using ride-hailing and home-sharing services. But those that do are more likely to be opposed to regulating them, even if they identify as Democrats or liberals.
