Graphic with the latest poll results. So much for a "center right" country.

gee, who shoves it down our throat every waking day?
The only thing amazing about this poll (besides the fact that anyone trusts anything from nbc) is that it isn't even further in the blue direction.
BTW, when was the last time any of the msm's let a Republican even mention an alternative plan on the air? hint: it won't happen.

I love poll results, especially when they're accompanied by colorful graphs and charts! The thing I love most is that if you look way down at the bottom, you'll see the only statistic that really matters: the number of people polled. In this case, 1,005.

Excuse me? Someone asked 1,005 people some questions and then extrapolated that to "prove" what a nation of almost 300 million thinks? Evidently, the tinfoil hat brigade has been active.

You provided no link, but the data is combined from more than one source. That tells me two things. First, the data is cherry-picked and second, site this data was collected from is in the business of cherry-picking data.

Ah, every time I see a Republican on a news program they are being begged to provide their answer to health care! And if there were such a plan you would certainly think that FauxNews would be broadcasting their alternative 24/7. Hell they could write it into a Simpsons or maybe a season of "24"!

Of course News Corp with a value of $5.6 billion dollars, with ownership of the Barons, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, 20th Century Fox, Fox Television Studios, 180 affiliate stations certain can't be considered mainstream media can it!?!

I wonder where they asked these questions, big cities vs small cities... I wonder if they asked primarily democrats.... I wonder if they asked a group of pro-government health care.... I wonder how they phrased their questions... I wonder why anyone thinks "statistics" is any different than lying... or perhaps they choose to believe in lies because it fits their ideology and want to fool others...

Default waste of time poll

this poll is meaningless. 1,000 people? sorry but hardly a poll speaking for America. also, I just have to add, note that even the liberals don't think Obama is being honest/forthright about his 'death care'.

The poll is from NBC and the Wall Street Journal...you know, that anti-Obama rag sheet owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Funny how every Rasmussen poll that gets inserted in c-d uses a sample of around 1500 - and they are always deemed correct and accurate. But NBC (not MSNBC) and the WSJ does one using a similar sample, it must have been done for some unobjective reason.

The tin foil still is in your corner.
