Q8 (Weighted by WEIGHT) Now I'm going to read you three things that some people say are reasons NOT to support Mitt Romney in the 2012 election. After I read all three items, please just tell me HOW MANY of these reasons you agree with, if any. Do not tell me which ones, just how many. How many, if any, of these things do you agree with? His political views are too conservative, He doesn't stick to his positions, He's out of touch with the needs of everyday Americans.   0) 0   1) 1   2) 2   3) 3   8) Don't know   9) Refused
