Wide partisan gap on the Constitution

This poll result from Rasmussen is striking, and frightening:

Most American voters (60%) [say] the Supreme Court should make decisions based on what is written in the constitution, while 30% say rulings should be guided on the judge’s sense of fairness and justice. . . While 82% of voters who support McCain believe the justices should rule on what is in the Constitution, just 29% of Barack Obama’s supporters agree. Just 11% of McCain supporters say judges should rule based on the judge’s sense of fairness, while nearly half (49%) of Obama supporters agree.

Only about a quarter of Obama voters think the Supreme Court should be bound by the Constitution.  Wow.
