While many have criticized Mr. Obama's proposal for a public option, Americans generally see government involvement in health care in a positive light, and most support it.

Fifty percent think the government would be better than insurance companies at providing medical coverage (up from 30 percent in 2007), and 59 percent think the government would be at better holding down costs (up from 47 percent in 2007).

I don't happen to know anyone in favor of obama health care. Show me one thing gov does well,one thing good that is.

We talk to each other. Our fellow countrymen are deluded.

Oh, I have no doubt at all that they'll be better at holding down costs.

They're pretty good at warfare. Welfare - a total failure.

These poll numbers are bogus.

The First Amendment allows them to lie using polls, with impunity.

It is a pretty standard psyops/Alinski thing the rats really ratcheted up during Clinton.

It works, largely because people repeat them uncritically.

But I know they are made up of whole cloth.

CBS poll indeed.
