55 Percent of Likely Voters Find ‘Socialist’ an Accurate Label of Obama? July 09, 2010 9:13 AM By Jim Geraghty The latest poll by Democracy Corps, the firm of James Carville and Stan Greenberg, has Republicans leading on the generic ballot among likely voters, 48 percent to 42 percent. Deep in the poll, they ask, “Now, I am going to read you a list of words and phrases which people use to describe political figures. For each word or phrase, please tell me whether it describes Barack Obama very well, well, not too well, or not well at all.” On “too liberal,” 35 percent of likely voters say it describes Obama “very well,” 21 percent say “well,” 21 percent say “not too well,” and 17 percent say “not well at all.” In other words, 56 percent of likely voters consider Obama too liberal. When asked about “a socialist,” 33 percent of likely voters say it describes Obama “very well,” 22 percent say “well,” 15 percent say “not too well,” and 25 percent say “not well at all.” In other words, 55 percent of likely voters think “socialist” is a reasonably accurate way of describing Obama.

Since Republicans have been working overtime to pin the label on him, they should be pleased. Too bad they haven't done such a good job improving their own image.
Further results reveal that 80% of voters don't know what the term means...
Funny how the Socialist Party doesn't even claim Obama is a socialist: And here's what the Socialist Party said in a press release on March 29th about Obamacare: http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dc/2010/03/tea-party-head-spinner-sociali.html
Take it up with Carville and Greenberg, well known 'neo cons' (laughing)
what's there to take up? They conducted a poll that shows that people are buying into Republican idiocy. Congrats.
Take it up with Carville and Greenberg, well known 'neo cons' (laughing) what's there to take up? They conducted a poll that shows that people are buying into Republican idiocy. Really? Can you provide something to support this claim?
The results of the poll you posted showed that respondents are buying the line of crap from the GOP that Obama is a socialist. Meanwhile, those who actually know what a socialist is, say he isn't and instead point to Palin as being one of them.
Can you provide something to support this claim that Republicans are making this assertion in such an overwhelming array of interviews, columns, media ads? No, you can't. Owe-bama's being judged on his actions as POTUS. And the average American isn't just 'underwhelmed' they are frightened. And they know socialism when they see it. This isn't the GOP's doing. You can't support the statement. Its Owe-bama's.
I think we've discovered Fred Flintstone folks. Nobody else can live under a rock that big.

But Billy Wharton, co-chair of the Socialist Party USA, sees no reason to celebrate. He’s seen people with bumper stickers and placards that call Obama a socialist, and he has a message for them: Obama isn’t a socialist. He’s not even a liberal.
“We didn’t see a great victory with the election of Barack Obama,” Wharton says, ” and we certainly didn’t see our agenda move from the streets to the White House.”
