A new CNN poll is an unmitigated disaster for Democrats.
Among the key findings:
—61 percent now oppose the Senate health care bill, compared to just 36 percent who support it.
—Just 22 percent of Americans say that the proposals would help them/their family
— 79 percent of Americans say that the Senate bill would increase the deficit.
— And 85 percent of Americans think the Senate bill would increase their taxes.
Meanwhile, on the political front:
40 percent of people questioned say the U.S. would be better off if Democrats ran Congress while 39 percent feel things would be better if Republicans took charge on Capitol Hill. The 1-point margin is a statistical tie.
Support for Democrats is down from a 10-point advantage in August and a 25-point margin in January.
This poll, which comes amid other similar ones (see Quinipiac), shows that Democrats are losing the health care debate on substance. Whether they try to ram it through anyway under the assumption that passing nothing would be even worse for their political prospects, is another matter.

So? What does the Senate care about what Americans think of their bill, or lack thereof? They seem to function wholly independently from public opinion/concerns.
There's no way I can even try to picture Reid seeing that poll and saying, "Wow, people hate this thing. Guess we're on the wrong track." He'll fight to pass ANYTHING no matter how awful.
I just hope we can stop it happening until he loses his election back home. Not holding out much hope, though.

I agree. If we could get everyone we get to oppose this, we still might be able to change their minds and let them know that while before we were blind, we are blind no more!!!

These racketeers in this administration will be brought to justice. Mr.O, this isn't ACORN your
organizing, it's our constitutional rights your trampling on. Say what, oh, the other thing, the constitution states you have to be a natural born citizen to become president in America.

Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very blissful that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something regarding this.
