6% Of U.S. Voters Say Obama Is A Conservative
Seventy-six percent (76%) of U.S. voters now think President Obama is at least somewhat liberal. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he is very liberal, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
This marks the highest finding to date on the question and is a five-point increase in the number who say the president is very liberal from a month ago. Just before Obama took office in January, 65% said he was at least somewhat liberal, with 35% who described him as very liberal.
Seventeen percent (17%) of voters say the president is moderate, while only six percent (6%) believe he is conservative.
Republicans are three times as likely as Democrats to say Obama is very liberal – 77% to 26%. The plurality (45%) of voters not affiliated with either party agree.
Among Democrats, 42% say the president is somewhat liberal and 26% say he is a moderate.
Sixty-seven percent (67%) of liberals rate the president as at least somewhat liberal, but only 14% say he’s very liberal.
Fifty-one percent (51%) of voters say Judge Sonia Sotomayor,Obama’s first nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, is a liberal.
For the second month in a row, 53% of voters say the president is governing like a partisan Democrat, while 32% say he is being bipartisan. In late January, only 39% of voters said he was governing in a partisan fashion while 42% said he was being bipartisan.
Obama’s overall approval rating in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll dropped below 50% for the first time last week.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters also say the man who is a heartbeat away from the presidency, Vice President Joe Biden, is at least somewhat liberal. Thirty-five percent (35%) view him as very liberal, while 20% say he is moderate. Seven percent (7%) think the former Delaware senator is conservative.
The findings on Biden have been largely unchanged so far this year.
Thirty-one percent (31%) say Biden will be on the Democratic national ticket with Obama in the next presidential election, but the identical number (31%) say he will not be. A sizable number (38%) are not sure.
In a survey in November 2007, 41% of Americans described themselves as fiscally conservative. Forty-three percent (43%) said they were fiscally moderate and 12% said liberal. Thirty-seven percent (37%) said they were conservative when it comes to “social issues like abortion, public prayer, and church-state topics.” On those social issues, 30% said they were moderate and 30% said liberal.

What the fuck is that in the picture Pat? I was having a great Saturday till I saw that face, thanks for nutin!!!
That, is a voter who thinks Obama is a Conservative.
If I didn’t see the satellite dish in the background, I’d think you photo-shopped t-shirt on a Neanderthal.
WOW a face only a mother could love or maybe not!
Do we have proof? Driving around with my ‘Obama is a Racist’ and ‘Obama: Socialism you can believe in’ I have been frequently surprised by the ‘looks’ of those who shout out words of support or the appearance of those who approach me in parking lots and encourage me and tell me how pissed off they are.
Don’t let looks deceive you. Most Obama supporters look ‘normal’. I even saw a ‘Veterans for Obama’ sticker. He looked straight ahead as he passed me and he looked the exact opposite of the ‘person’ pictured above.
It looks like our friendly neighborhood Acorn organizer. Where’s the “puke” smiley face?
The picture of the nitwit is hilarious.
Where’s the valve stem?
LMAO! That was good!
I have to admit, I’m addicted. And not surprised since Pat did combat time with Marines. I discovered this site only about a month ago, and it’s the only news site that doesn’t feel like homework. I’m always as entertained as I am informed.
patdollard.com is a bit of a family…
We’ve had a funeral, RIP Larry.
and a wedding Sgt. Smith
Now T-BAGG IS BACK!!!!!OH HOW WE’VE MISSED HIM!
James, if you need a vacation/honeymoon call me!
Yeah this place really rocks! WELCOME
I bet he speaks in a high voice.
Apparently 6% of any large enough group is nuts.
NICE BLOG you got there!
You are ON THE MONEY!
Speaking of voting: remember the black panthers who intimidated voters in Philly?
“Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perelli, No.3 official in the Obama Justice Department, was consulted and ultimately approved a decision in May to reverse course and drop a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party of intimidating voters in Philadelphia during November’s election, according to interviews.”
Appointed to be a poll watcher in 2008 for the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign, Jerry Jackson is also an elected member of Philadelphia’s 14th Ward Democratic Committee.
He has once again been appointed to be a poll watcher in the upcoming election. His some of his comments from his My Space page (which has just been removed):
“BLACK POWER,BLACK LOVE,BLACK UNITY,BLACK MINDS,KILLIN CRAKKKAS”
“F*** Whitey’s Christmas”
An image of an execution scene from the cult hit film “Pulp Fiction”
A photo of a man holding a sign saying, “DEPORT WHITE PEOPLE”
A derogatory anti-cop poster titled “BEWARE OF PIG”
An image of Saddam Hussein before his execution
A photo of a cop sitting next to a black child in a toy car. Beneath the image the phrase “Racial Profiling: It Starts Early”
All the above information from WA Times.
Ok…my recent comment will not go through.
finally
I wish we had some reliable number of what % of the US thinks Hussein is an incompetent nincompoop.
So 6% of our country’s adults are communists. Go figure.
I think that’s it. These are the disgruntled leftists who are pissed because he hasn’t pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan, closed Gitmo, etc.
That’s what I was going to say…I’d like to see a poll of how many think the black messiah is a communist.
When I seen that pic at the top of the page, my very first thought was “What the fuck is that?” but USNA1985 beat me to it. To the thing in the picture, here’s some free advice. Buy a bullet and rent a gun.
That my friend is a Morlock. They come in many different varieties…The Eloi will be their victims. But we are the ones who built and maintain the time machine.
He’s the smartest of the 6%
Friends, I don’t know how it happens but some people think they pay less taxes under a democrat prisident. This comes from a buddy with his own dumptruck business. Same as blacks have gained more freedoms under Republican leadership but demos pay them off with gimmes.
It is easy to hate!!!!!
HOLY SHIT! You are fuckin’ ugly.
Maybe a poll tax ISNT such a bad idea…only instead of a tax you have to take a 10 question history/poli sci type test. If you csnt ID the candidate fuckin party then you shouldnt be fuckin voting. period. These morons are why we’re even in this mess. fuckin oxygen thieves.
