WASHINGTON - Despite his public-relations blitz over the past two weeks to promote his plans to reform the nation's health-care system — including holding two town halls on Wednesday — President Barack Obama has lost ground on this issue with the American public, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Pluralities now say that the president’s health care plan is a bad idea, and that it will result in the quality of their care getting worse. What’s more, just four in 10 approve of his handling on the issue.....

The NBC/Journal survey has Obama’s overall approval rating at 53 percent, which is down three points from last month (and which also equals the percentage he won in last November’s presidential contest).

This is classic MSM chicanery. It's bogus to compare a poll of "all adults" (half of whom don't vote) to his vote share last November.

If this had been a poll of voters, it would show his approval is significantly below his performance in the election..

Boy, that writer might as well start clearing out his desk now. You can’t say that sort of stuff about The One at MSNBC.

I think they are about to switch the messaging -

Up to now the frame of the messaging has been pretty much “an irresistible consensus that it was futile to oppose”.

Now it will be “Obama fighting courageously for justice against overwhelming odds”.

I wouldn't put it past him to pull the race/victim card out, even though he's the ever-lovin' President of the United States of America.

We'll just have to stay steadfast in our resolve to uncover the truth. That will drive him battier than anything else we can do.
