Actually, opposition led support by 2% among registered voters.

Look at this other recent poll...

Now the question is what twisted logic are the Republicans going to use to try and argue that they were in favor of it?

The same twisted logic we'll all see when Democrats try to get far far away from Obamacare when the midterm elections come around.

Hmmm, I'm taking a look at this other recent poll right now. It also says that more people trust Democrats to handle health care than Republicans

Further down at HC37 it lists 4 details of the bill and people support 3 of them by a huge margin.

The fine they oppose by 21% to 49% (There is no real fine. The bill itself says that can't be enforced)
And they support by a wide margin

Require companies with 50 or more
employees to provide health insurance to
their employees or pay a fine to the federal
government if they do not.
42% to 27%

Require health insurance companies to sell
health insurance to U.S. citizens and legal
immigrants who don’t have health insurance
and have a serious medical problem.
53% to 13%

Allow young adults to get health insurance
by being included in their parents’ health
insurance policies until they turn 26.
57% to 13%

You guys keep on trying to float the ideal that the Obama Care is a well thought self maintain act. Its the furthest from the truth. Thank the Lord we still have Journalism like Fox to bring the facts out and the smaller groups like Brietbar and many others.

Looking a bit further, at G11b we see that most of these respondents are conservatives by 38 to 18
They also live mostly in the suburbs or rural areas, 49 suburbs and 23 rural with only 26 living in the city

If you use the word journalism in that sentence......I don't think that word means what you think it does.

As for more liking it...Thats going to occur over time as the massive ad campaign against it collides with reality. I think its not the best myself-single payer should have been the target, not this.

Wait, so polls count again? I thought polls were pointless...isn't that what we hear from the libs when the polls don't show what they want them to show? Wish you libs would make up your minds.
