Poll: Voters Reject Obama's Views
A Rasmussen Reports poll shows:
Most voters still believe President Obama is more liberal than they are, while just one-out-of-four say they share the same ideological views as the president.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 54 percent of Likely U.S. Voters think Obama is more ideologically liberal than they are, while only 13 percent view him as more conservative. Twenty-four percent say their political views are about the same as the president's.
The number who see the president as more liberal than they are stayed at 57 percent in three-out-of-four previous surveys conducted since August of last year. That number climbed to 61 percent in late February. The number who view the president as more conservative ranged from nine percent to 12 percent in that same period.
The number of voters who say they share about the same political views as the president ties the lowest result measured since August and, interestingly, compares exactly with the number who say the same of Cogress. Only 24 percent of voters hold about the same ideological views as the average Republican member of Congress, and another 24 percent feel that way about the views of the average Democratic congressman.
