CNN Poll: Americans Oppose Obamacare 58% to 38%
- 0 Comments
A new CNN poll shows that 58% of "adult Americans" oppose the House and Senate health care bills, while 38% generally support the legislation. I'm willing to bet that opposition would be higher among more attentive "likely voters." The poll "also indicates that nearly half the public, 48 percent, would like federal lawmakers to start work on an entirely new bill, and 21 percent feel Congress should stop working an any bills that would change the country's health care system."
Meanwhile, the Democrats don't quite know what they're going to try to do next on health care. A GOP Senate aide sends out a list of contradictory headlines:
Reuters: Democrat Reid says "no rush" on health bill

Hill: Hoyer: Democrats need health reform game plan in place soon
Bloomberg: Hoyer Sees Obama Pushing for Comprehensive Health-Care Overhaul

Fox: Hoyer Expects Obama to Focus on Jobs, Not Health Care in State of the Union
