The WSJ/NBC polls are the only ones that really seem close on this issue. This one does show a slight plurality opposing it. They do this poll every month or so. Almost all of them show more support for a public option than oppose it (including the current ones - the one you link is from August).

I could care less about what a small area of the US thinks.
I can find video clips of 0bama and prominent democrats who not only want a federally run single payer health care system, but think that the "public option" is the first, best step in achieving it. I'm against it because I seriously doubt the greedy, special interest, lobbyist loving, do-anything-to-get-reelected politicians could run a universal healthcare system without running our health care system, and us, into the ground.
Just because it's what they "want" doesn't mean they're proposing it. I wish politicians would live up to their true convictions. What I want IS a nationalized health insurance, single-payer system. I'd jump for joy if that were actually on the table.

How do i know where you live, Florida is a big state.
You said "Every poll" which was too broad a statement to let go by, so i just did a quick Google and did a quick cut and paste.

Oh come on. I obviously meant national polls of public opinion. I'm sure every single poll of register republicans will show huge disapproval of the public option. Why didn't you link to some of those?
Yes, I know. You'd like nothing more than to have a poll that ask people if they'd like to have "free" health care. Right after that question they should ask, "Are you in favor of "free" health care that will bankrupt the nation faster than the already "free" or "low cost" plan is already doing?"
They just oppose anything that is not a complete takeover of health care by the federal government.
People like those in MoveOn seem to think the nameless faces in government have all the answers and need to be in charge of a federally run universal healthcare program, even though they have no clue who those people in government might be, what their agendas are, or what their qualifications may be, in ten or twenty years, they just trust them anyway.
Anyone who considers themselves a part of MoveOn or KOS want to disagree with me on this?
Yes, we're all just big government thugs trying to takeover and destroy all private industry, especially all those poor innocent insurance companies who all make their well earned profits off of killing and bankrupting their own customers. I mean, isn't playing God with other people's lives for money a valid form of entrepreneurship?
It can't possibly be because we want all Americans to have access to affordable quality health care that won't leave them for dead whenever they get sick or injured. Or that we don't want the government to force millions to buy an expensive service they cannot possibly afford, effectively rendering us all slaves to the insurance industry, no. It has to be because we want the government to destroy all private businesses and control everything, right.
Just because it's what they "want" doesn't mean they're proposing it. I wish politicians would live up to their true convictions. What I want IS a nationalized health insurance, single-payer system. I'd jump for joy if that were actually on the table.
I lack the same blind trust in the nameless faces in government that you possess.
