Poll question: Where do you feel you are on a left-to-right political scale?
I put myself in the very liberal/progressive group, with some serious socialist leanings these days.

1. Moderately liberal
More liberal on economic and foriegn relations matters than I am on social matters.

2. I'm concerned about how conservative Obama is.
I think that makes me very liberal/progressive.

7. There are MANY of us who share your concern. It is especially galling to see the media
paint him as a radical "leftist" when he is so far from being even liberal.

It just shows how right-wing the US is.

4. Definite socialist
On the political compass test, I'm way in the bottom left corner.

6. My Wife and I are Radical Moderates...
...who were SHOVED to the left by the worst president in history. We like it here, so I voted moderately left of center.

9. Socialist (in the West Europaean sense)
I consider Obama as centrist, not leftist; but INFINITELY better than the alternative.

10. I'm American.....but I'd consider myself socialist in the W European sense too....
Market economies, but with extensive regulation and expansive social programs.
