As I write this our poll is 4-0 in favor of strict construction. I took the wording directly from the Rasmussen poll earlier this week.
Fun campaign fact:
"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."

I never know what anyone means by "strict constructionist". I wasn't voting for strict constructionism as conservatives sometimes use it.
Shameful for our side, although I'd like to see the questions themselves. If they used the phrase 'strict construction', they would have put Dems in a position to not have an acceptable answer to choose from.
It simply means follow the words in the document and subsequent precedents, don't make up stuff based on fairness or anything else: in other words, just the way you voted. You're a strict constructionalist.
I used the wording exactly.
Yep, he said it last night:
OBAMA: Well, I think it's true that we shouldn't apply a strict litmus test and the most important thing in any judge is their capacity to provide fairness and justice to the American people.
