Washington Post Poll on Republican Voters

A Washington Post poll finds Republican voters aren't as conservative as the tea baggers the GOP is pandering to.

Abortion

35 percent of Republican voters support abortion being legal in most cases. 19 percent support abortion being legal in all cases. Only 16 percent of Republican voters want all abortions illegal. 28 percent want abortions illegal in most (not all) cases. Abortion is not the wedge issue it once was for the GOP. 23 percent of Republican voters feel the GOP spends too much time on abortion

Gay Marriage

23 percent of Republican voters feel the GOP spends too much time on gay marriage. That ranks higher than any other issue. The second was abortion, follwed by second amendment rights at 16 percent. If Republican voters are getting tired of the guns, gays and abortion message then how does the GOP plan to bring in new voters. Republican voters are still strongly religious. 48 percent want religion to play a greater role in politics. How these people can expect politicians to be religious leaders is mind-numbing stupidity. Did the GOP sex scandals teach Republican voters anything?

Fox News

74 percent of Republican voters watch the nonsense known as Fox News. 43 percent watch Glenn Beck. It is no wonder why 74 percent of Republican voters believe President Barack Obama does not share their values. 60 percent believe Congressional Republicans share their values.

Despite the misinformation from Fox News, 56 percent of Republican voters want to see Congressional Republicans work with Democrats. 49 percent said the Republican Party is headed in the right direction. 42 percent feel the GOP is going in the wrong direction. Imagine what these numbers would be if the leaderless Republican Party did not have Fox News and talk radio.
