Yes.
If this is in reference to the Roman Period: The Pharisees were a populist movement, therefore they catered to the interests of the Jewish people. They opposed the Sadducees who represented elite interests and the Priestly class in general. Smaller movements like the Essenes were littered about, but the Pharisees were the most popular because they covered a large base.
If this is in reference to anything after the Roman Period: The Jewish people ARE the Pharisees and Pharisaic Traditions. So the question at this point is more along the lines of "Do the Jewish people like their own take on religion?" which is a nonsensical question. (If you didn't like your take on religion, you would change it.)
Answer:Yes. The Jewish group that concentrated on the study, teaching and application of the Torah in every century was and is the Torah-sages and their many disciples, from Abraham down to today.The word "Pharisees," which is based on a Greek misspelling used by Josephus, doesn't convey the meaning which it should. It actually refers to the Sages of the Talmud. (The Hebrew word "p'rushim," to which he referred, means people of temperance; the opposite of epicurean.) People get the mistaken impression from Josephus that the Pharisees were just a "sect" among others, when in fact Josephus himself admits that they with their disciples constituted the majority of the Jewish people.
Although the Christian Testament portrays them poorly, in fact the Pharisees were very egalitarian. They believed that all men were equal and that all had the same rights, and the same right to an education, etc. They were devoted to the study of Torah and the education of all people, regardless of status in society. They detested hypocrisy and actively sought it out and criticized it whenever they encountered it. The Pharisees were the only movement to survive the destruction of the Second Temple and were the ancestors of modern Judaism.
Our traditional Jewish beliefs today, including the afterlife and the resurrection, are traditions continuing from the Prophets and the Sages of the Talmud ("Pharisees").
The Sadducees, who abandoned various parts of Judaism, claimed no earlier source for their attitudes; and they (like the miniscule group called Essenes) disappeared at the time of the Second Destruction, just like the earlier Jewish idolaters had disappeared at the time of the First Destruction.
Yes. They were the learned rabbis who were teachers of Judaism to rabbis in training, whereas the Sadduces were the leaders of the Jerusalem Temple. These terms applied to Judaism in the Hellenistic Period.
The Pharisees were completely Jewish, they are the ancestors of modern rabbinical Judaism.
