Obama Wars Title: 55 Percent of Likely Voters Find ‘Socialist’ an Accurate Label of Obama? 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.

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.

#6. To: war, lucysmom, badeye (#3) 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:
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.” And here's what the Socialist Party said in a press release on March 29th about Obamacare:
"It is a corporate restructuring of the health insurance industry created to protect the profit margins of private insurance companies,” http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dc/2010/03/tea-party-head-spinner-sociali.html
