LOS ANGELES TIMES/USC POLL
Californians take generally positive view of healthcare reform
A new Times/USC poll shows voters saying by a 46%-29% margin they would be more likely to vote for a politician who had backed the health bill. On immigration, the poll found continued polarization.

California voters have a generally positive view of the massive federal healthcare package signed into law by President Obama last month, providing a potential boost statewide to the Democrats who pushed it through Congress, according to a new Times/USC poll.
Republican leaders, campaigning against the bill, have warned Democrats that their votes would weigh them down in November's elections. Although that may be true in more conservative parts of the country, the opposite appears to be developing here.
By a margin of 46% to 29%, California voters surveyed said they would be more likely to vote for a politician who had supported the health bill. And just over half the voters polled said they believed the country would be better off because of the bill.
On another hot-button issue, immigration, the poll found a continued sharp polarization between Democrats and Republicans, but also a shift of voter sentiment away from proposals to take away all social services, including access to schools and emergency medical treatment, from illegal residents.

Lost Angeles
A real obeject poll (Mason-Dixon) polled Florida about a week ago. 25% of seniors supported it. 32% of Floridians supported it.
FL hates ObamaCare.
What about the other 25%, part of the “don’t know” poll?
Now that is a crowd to be fearful of. Hopefully it is the same group that doesn’t vote.
More left wing bs and wet dreams from the LA Slimes posing as news. For reality check the poll below:

Democrats continue to believe that the more people find out what is in the newly passed health care legislation, the more America will come to embrace it. The numbers, however, are not proving the Democrats correct, though, and Democrats fail to see the similar number of voters that did not like the health care bill presented in 1994 still do not like the health care law today.
Rasmussen Reports just conducted a new poll that explains voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on nine out of ten key issues. Rasmussen states:
Following the passage of the health care bill, 53% now say they trust Republicans on the issue of health care. Thirty-seven percent (37%) place their trust in Democrats. A month earlier, the two parties were essentially even on the health care issue.
These results are consistent with the finding that 54% of voters want the health care bill repealed. Rasmussen Reports is tracking support for repeal on a weekly basis. Still, health care ranks just number five among voters on the list of 10 important issues. The economy remains the top issue of voter concern as it has been for over years.
On the economy, Republicans are trusted more by 49% while Democrats are preferred by 37%. That’s a big improvement for the GOP following a five-point advantage last month. More voters who make under $20,000 annually trust Democrats on this issue, but voters who earn more than that favor Republicans.
Castro, the head of WHO, and now 46% of Cally. Yep, this was a bad, bad deal!
Erect the walls and give it to Mexico. That includes San Frisky.
Oh $h!*
But what about California?
The government is going to do the same thing to the private health insurance provider that they did to the home mortgage industry.
Poll question: Is this a good thing?
Californians appear to have abandoned any attempt at living within their means and are expecting the federal government to bail them out of their budget deficits.
Of course they do, they want an Obama Utopia for all of us. They as a state are so broke they can’t even afford to pay attention these days.
Yeah, what the heck, they can always get high on METH and everything would be OK. Why bother to worry about debts and default?
As someone who lives in California, I’d like to know where this 46% came from as I have not met a single person who favors the bill.
I think you live in the ‘wrong’ neighborhood.:-)
the poll was taken amongst Spanish speakers...
God help all of us in California!!
Californians probably realize that their state is lost — it faces certain bankruptcy within a few years if not several months... it realizes that its only hope is a federal bailout (talk about moral hazard for this country if that were to happen)... and Obamacare fits right into this playbook... so Californians better get on board with this and hope that the country will accept California’s debts and the welfare state that resides there because there may not be any turning back.
Just my thoughts.
I bet a poll taken in Oakland would show 90%-10% support for HusseinCare. Should any of this be a surprise?
