Last time I checked 49 is more then 27.

This is a total scam and the dem leaders still today do not think the people are smart enough to see right through their scammy little brains.

Maybe they will wake up some day to realize that people can make decisions on their own and we do not need them to do the typical " Our base is too stupid to know so lets make the decision for them" crap.

I pity the 2010 dems who are up for re-election if they vote for this scam bill.
They just signed their job away.
Didn't realize that elected public servant was a "job." Thought it was about service.......hmmmmm.......didn't realize those people ran for office to get a job to support themselves and their families.

Did anyone even read the first couple of paragraphs? 49% against it does not equal 51% in favor.

"The survey, taken Friday through Sunday, finds 42% against a bill, 35% in support of it. Despite nearly a year of presidential speeches, congressional hearings and TV ad campaigns by interest groups, more than one in five still doesn't have a strong opinion. When pressed about how they were leaning, 49% overall said they would urge their member of Congress to vote against a bill; 44% would urge a vote for it."

Yet USA Today headlines the article as opposition "lingering".

So they do this for free?

Last time I checked they get paid on average 174k per year plus thousands of perks and expense accounts.

Yes, it is a job to them. They get paid to show up and work for us.

This congress believes we work for them for some reason.

If it is not a job and they do not use the money to support their families then what do you call it?

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING ????

Did you bother clicking the link and looking at the poll? 49-44 against.

Along with ALL the others polls that show similar opposition to obamacare.

Fantastic explanation of the scamcare bill.

We need more people like him who will expose the lie and who will stand up for the America people.

Why on earth would anyone want to force those of us who have HC to pay for those who do not is beyond reasonable.

With the failed Admin of Obama, this HC bill, this economy, and the weakening of our defense systems, the dems will be forever marked in history as the huge turning point in Americas decline.

A poll can tell you anything, depending on how the question is asked.
