If (big IF) that is indicative of liberals overall, it would be about 20%.

OTOH, the tea party caucus in the House was 26 No, 1 Yes and 22 Undecided.

Of course, that gets you into a discussion of "right for the wrong reason", "right for the right reason", etc.

I have seen polls that show the widespread opposition to striking Assad but not one that breaks it down by liberal/conservative.
