I would like to see which "liberal" Democrats support it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "which 'liberal' Democrats support it".

Polls show that to be the case among the public, not the politicians, though they do not identify who the individuals are. If you are talking about which "liberal" politicians support it they you are pointing out the split between the politicians and the base.

I don't. I see them as quite liberal with trade policies similar to those of Germany and Sweden which I don't classify as conservative.
