Two fascinating results from a poll of Massachusetts Republicans.

First, Bay State Republicans don’t like Romneycare: “Fifty-one percent have an unfavorable opinion of it (Thirty-four percent view it very unfavorably) while only thirty percent view it favorably.”

Second… “Forty percent of respondents believe Romney is an “establishment” Republican. Thirty-seven say he is a “moderate or liberal” Republican. Thirteen percent say he is a “tea party conservative” and ten percent have no opinion.”

Would even Mitt Romney claim that he’s a Tea Party conservative? He’s generally kept his distance from Tea Party activists. On the other hand, a Pew poll from earlier this year indicated that a lot of Tea Party members still favor him.
