The healthcare plan has been in the works for at least a year as can be evidenced by the complexity. Arnold favored a Hillary-care type plan long before he was elected in 2003 (although no one reported it until Joe Mathews published Arnold's biography last year).
Two other observations:
1) The poll was taken before his new "healthcare for all" announcement, his state of the state address, and his new budget.
2) The poll also includes quite a few questions on Bush and Iraq, the results of which are very negative and give an indication of the type of people SJSU included in the poll.
What? You were expecting a "fair" poll?
Not in the cards,Baby.
Besides, this is California and this is our "Fool"...the one we all know and love.
He's as close to a gelding as State politicians are allowed to be.
