New Poll 52% Say Obama Headed To Socialism

The latest New York Times / CBS News poll has found a majority of Americans think socialist Barack Hussein Obama is moving America toward socialism.  The poll surveyed the political, racial, and social opinions of both the general public and self-described members of the tea party movement.  This poll shows 52% of Americans see Obama pushing America toward socialism. 

The poll found that while tea party participants are generally more conservative than the broader population, they are also better educated and slightly more successful.  Almost the entire tea party movement, 92% shared the views of most Americans that Obama was turning the United States into a socialist country.

The poll found that while tea party members generally shared the economic concerns of the broader population, this did not motivate their strong opposition to Obama. That opposition was based on his policies, not on the poor economy or on other factors, such as the president’s race.  The racial attitudes of tea party members fell in line with those of the rest of the country, with 73% of tea party members saying that blacks and whites had an equal chance of success, a view held by 60% of Americans.

Tea party members are strongly motivated by traditional conservative issues, such as the size of government and federal spending, according to the poll. 92% of tea party members said they would prefer a smaller, less intrusive federal government to a larger one – a view they shared with 52% of Americans.

 Tea party members by a margin of 89% thought that Obama has expanded government too much in trying to deal with the recession, an opinion which fell in line with the views of 50 percent of the country. 

 Tea party members also agreed with the rest of the country, though in higher proportions, on the issue of federal bank bailouts. 74% of tea party members said the economy would have improved without the bailouts.  That view shared by 51% of Americans generally.

The finding that should most worry incumbents who do not share tea party members’ views was that 97% of the activists are registered voters.  Election 2010 does matter.  We can stop Obama’s and the Democrats attempted socialist agenda for America.
