A new Rasmussen poll tests the reactions of likely voters to former Vice President Dick Cheney’s recent public activism against the Obama Administration — with Obama currently the winner on the issues.

The poll asked: “Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been speaking out lately on a number of topics. Now that he has left office, how important are Dick Cheney’s opinions?” Only 39% say his views are very or somewhat important, to 57% who say his views are not very or not at all important.

And finally: “Cheney says America is less safe because of changes President Obama has made in national security. Do you agree or disagree with Cheney’s statement that America is now less safe?” Here’s it’s only 38% agreeing, to 51% disagreeing.
