Most Voters Still See Obama, Biden As Liberal
Most voters still have little doubt that President Obama and Vice President Biden are liberals.

Twenty-one percent (21%) feel the president is politically moderate. Just seven percent (7%) consider Obama somewhat or Very Conservative. (To see survey question wording, click here).
