Michelle Bachmann in "Solid Political Position" in her Home Base

From Politico:

When asked whether the lightning rod Bachmann’s political views are “extremist,” 37 percent said yes and 54 percent said no. And when queried about whether the two-term congresswoman “is too liberal, too conservative, or about right,” 36 percent said “too conservative” while 56 percent said “about right.” (Bachmann herself must be wondering who the 8 percent are who think she’s too liberal).

“Michele Bachmann may constantly be generating controversy in the national news, but back at home she finds herself in a solid position politically,” concludes PPP in its analysis.

There’s one warning sign Bachmann will need to keep an eye on though. When asked if Bachmann “is more focused on advocating for your district in the US House or being a national leader in the conservative movement,” 48 percent said she’s more focused on being a national conservative leader, compared to 32 percent who said she is more focused on her St. Cloud and exurban Twin Cities-based district. Twenty percent were not sure.
