It depends.

If a politician changes his/her mind based on new facts, new issues, or a clear process of introspection that leads to a change of heart, I don’t mind, and would probably actually like it.

However, if the flip-flop is based on polls, politics, or is so egregious and sudden as to suggest that, then I look upon it extremely negatively. To be topical, I’m sure everyone here is thinking of Romney in this subject, and I personally consider him of the latter type.
