68% Say Obama Politically Liberal

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of American voters see Barack Obama as politically liberal, including 41% who say he is very liberal. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 24% say the President-elect is politically moderate while 4% see him as conservative. These results are little changed from the fall political campaign, despite the fact that some on the political left see Obama’s early appointments tilting to the right.

Ninety-five percent (95%) of political conservatives see Obama as politically liberal. Seventy-one percent (71%) of liberals see the President-elect as one of their own.

However, political moderates are more likely to see Obama as closer to the political center. Forty-four percent (44%) of moderates see Obama as moderate while 46% see him as liberal (see full demographic crosstabs).
