Opposition to Health Care Plan Hits New High of 56%

Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide now oppose the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition yet measured and includes 44% who are Strongly Opposed.

Just 43% now favor the proposal, including 24% who Strongly Favor it.

But the overall picture remains one of stability. While the numbers have bounced a bit following nationally televised appearances by the president to promote the plan, opposition has generally stayed above 50% since early July. Support has been in the low to mid 40s.

"Freedom"? As in freedom to be governed by the poll of the day?

[el Gusano]

The poll would indicate the numbers of individuals desiring such, to most people who are capable of rational thought.

But what does that have to do with anything? When did the US turn into a democracy? Funny how governance by the polls was said to be a bad idea under Clinton, but it is the way to go under Obama?

Avctually I was referring to toe post title. I wasn't sure if you meant the desire for the Freedom to be ruled by the poll of the day, or the desire of Freedom from healthcare.

Gus... they are slowly waking the lazy giant.
That is the American people... though spoiled and lazy... most still know a rat when they see one.

[el Gusano]

Yep.

And funny how some people seem to think this is a mandate to govern by polls.

Polls simply show the attitudes of the people, and what will hopefully be a revolution in the next election cycle. Or before.

Some people should focus, indeed.

The only thing growing stronger is the desire to divide people into camps.

It hits the precise frequency at which anger, suspicion and the fear that no one's listening all converge.
