Rasmussen Reports tells us the current state of public opinion on health care--stable, but still opposed. Explains Rasmussen Reports:
As August winds down, the good news for President Obama and congressional Democrats is that support for their proposed health care legislation has stopped falling. The bad news is that most voters oppose the plan.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey show that 43% of voters nationwide favor the plan working its way through Congress while 53% are opposed. Those figures are virtually identical to results from two weeks ago.
As has been true since the debate began, those opposed to the congressional overhaul feel more strongly about the legislation than supporters. Forty-three percent (43%) now Strongly Oppose the legislation while 23% Strongly Favor it. Those figures, too, are similar to results from earlier in August.

Random Poll responders have never moved history.

Given the MSM propaganda efforts on behalf of Obama-care, I am not surprised the Pro-Obama numbers are so high as they match the Pro-Democrat numbers.

Worse, didn't they just lose that magical 60th vote? I would guess that means any Senate bill would be at risk of a filibuster until spring 2010, assuming Mass goes with another Dem.

Democrats had better get a better defense of their health care reform bill, something other than "You're Mean!"

When the big O is back from his vacation and starts talking the same stuff the numbers will continue downward. The majority of Americans on this issue at least do not trust the President and his congressional allies. Only when there is transparency in the process and in the proposed Bill will there be a shift in opinion.
