Without Bush to kick around

Do you think SurveyUSA would do faulty polling for him?

Does a bear crap in the woods?



Even the libs that write in the comment sections of the blogs you post have seen the writing on the wall:

“But when told the arguments for and against the plan, a smaller portion, 47%, agreed with arguments in support of the plan, with 42% agreeing with the arguments against it.”
.
Not to mention . . .
.
“Nearly half the participants said it was very or somewhat likely that their employer would drop private coverage if a public plan were available . . . Majorities oppose plans to tax health benefits, even if the taxes only apply to particularly generous plans.”
.
Left undiscussed, “Nearly seven in 10 survey respondents said they had concerns about federal interventions into the economy, including Mr. Obama’s decision to take an ownership stake in General Motors Corp., limits on executive compensation and the prospect of more government involvement in health care.”
.
And, most striking to me, “Among independents, [Obama's approval rating] dropped from nearly two-to-one approval to closely divided.”

Some good news, a lot of bad.

A new poll by a nonpartisan, D.C.-based research group finds truly overwhelming support for the public option. The kicker: The poll was bankrolled partly by previous opponents of health care reform, including one of the nation’s best-known insurance companies.

The poll — which was just released by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, a D.C. policy think tank — finds that a majority (53%) strongly back the availability of a public plan, while another 30% “somewhat” support it. That’s a total of 83% in favor of a public plan — a staggeringly large majority.

Good stuff there.
