I would direct your attention to this Open Left post:
Still, ideological labels do not always predict opinions about key policy issues. For example, about half of Americans who describe their political views as conservative say that all (24%) or some (27%) of the tax cuts passed under George W. Bush should be repealed. More than four-in-ten conservatives (43%) say that abortion should be legal in some or all cases. On the other hand, nearly half of self-described liberals (49%) favor more offshore drilling for oil and gas in U.S. waters.
Note the first (tax cuts) has 51% in favor of "some" or "all" agreeing with the repealing of Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy.
The entire post is worth reading but suffice to say "reality" is never quite what you think it is.
